The average paid across the UK for this role is £22,150 pa. Variation between regions is small, however, the results do show that those roles in Scotland pay on average £3,000 per annum more.
Middle management: team leaders/supervisors/consultants/specialists (SMEs)/vice principals
On average employees at this level are paid £34,000 pa, with those based in Northern Ireland being paid the highest for this role. The low salaries paid in the Midlands and Wales are skewing the mean average paid at this level. This could be due to the broad range of job titles described, leading to misleading figures. This is an area that will be explored further, and potentially broken down in next year’s survey.
Senior management: managers/heads of function or department/associate directors/directors
This level includes a broad range of job titles which could have affected the pay levels given in some regions, however, those who completed the survey within the Midlands region reported a £9,000 variance versus the UK average. There could be a number of factors for this variance which could include the size of the business and the number of respondents from the public sector. The CIPP will look into company size in future surveys to see if this explains the variance. It is a positive sign that respondents were advising of salary values for those that sit at an executive level within the payroll department/profession in excess of £50,000 per annum. This shows that the profession is now shifting towards an executive board level and being remunerated accordingly.
