Scottish Government Main pay ranges 2023 to 2025: FOI release
Information requested
The two most recent pay settlements accepted by employees of your department. Please provide all pay grades and their respective salary bands, for 23/24 and 24/25.
Response
The Scottish Government only negotiates and agrees pay awards for Band A – C staff within Scottish Government Main (SGM) and seafaring staff in the Scottish Government (SG) Marine bargaining units. We have therefore interpreted “pay settlements accepted by employees of your department” as pay awards accepted by SGM and SG Marine employees. You can find information on which bodies are included within SGM in Annex A.
You have also submitted requests for this information to SPPA and SASA. SPPA and SASA form part of SG Main and thus the same pay awards apply to those employees. This response is therefore a combined response and also covers your FOI request with the reference number 202400443673 and 202400443804.
Please see tables below with the requested information:
