Pay multiple

Local Authorities are already required to publish, under the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (Statutory Instrument 2015/234):

• The number of employees whose remuneration in that year was at least £50,000 in brackets of £5,000
• Details of remuneration and job title of certain senior employees whose salary is at least £50,000, and
• Employees whose salaries are £150,000 or more must also be identified by name.

In addition to this requirement, local authorities must place a link on their website to these published data sets or place the data itself on their website, together with a list of responsibilities (for example, the services and functions they are responsible for, budget held and number of staff) and details of bonuses and ‘benefits-in-kind’, for all employees whose salary exceeds £50,000.
