UK Civil Servants Earning Below Average

27th May 2017

A report published this week by the Institute for Government suggests that many UK civil servants are earning just below average earnings.

The report sets out clearly the earnings in different departments.

Average pay increases are currently limited to 1% (with some exceptions for specialist skills and Brexit-related appointments) - but it's clear that many civil servants are dissatisfied with their pay.

In 2016, across the whole civil service, the pay and benefits theme in the annual Civil Service People Survey - which asks civil servants their opinion on a range of issues, from inclusion and fair treatment to resources and workload - scored 31%, a percentage point higher than in 2015. Satisfaction with pay slightly increased between 2015 and 2016 in ten of the departments that existed in both years.

Pay was the lowest-scoring of all ten themes in the engagement survey and in no department did a majority of staff express satisfaction with their pay. Other IfG research has suggested - perhaps unsurprisingly - that the departments where the highest proportion of employees want to leave in the next year are those with the lowest pay satisfaction.
