Data rounded to neared 1 decimal point

Last year, the CIPP commented that we may see regional pay differences reduce as we shift to remote / homeworking. However, it can still be seen that London greatly exceeds other areas of the country. With the average across the country being around £57,000, it’s again good to see payroll leaders being valued within companies. This is £7,000 over last year’s average. It should be noted the average for the north east is inflated due to lack of responses in this area of the country and may not be representative of the area as a whole. Individual outliers could be an indicator of businesses relocating out of London. Alternatively, employers may be putting less weight on the cost-of- living in an area and more on the job role, now remote working separates the employees from a company’s location.

Executive management / chief executive office / board level

This year, the survey asked about board level employees in addition to the previous categories. While the number of responses in this area is low, it’s worth exploring. Responses were low, presumably either due to the respondent not being privy to the information, or the information being withheld. There are two charts shown on the next page, the first includes all the data gathered. The second has excluded two entries that were very low, indicating that the board members were paid below the tax threshold and renumerated in other ways. Both tables are shown for completeness and accuracy. As previously mentioned, any analysis of the data may be open to interpretation due to the low volume of information given.
