Salary
Home Secretary Response to the Senior Salaries' Review Board.
PCCs will need to be highly motivated, determined to deliver the best for the communities that they serve, and above all be focused on making our communities safe. We want to ensure that a suitable and proportionate remuneration is achieved for such a challenging and rewarding role.
The Home Secretary has laid a written ministerial statement where she has agreed all but one of the recommendations put forward by the Senior Salaries' Review Board's Report on PCC pay.
In summary;
Pay levels for PCCs should reflect the importance and the full-time, demanding nature of the role. Pay levels take account of the size of police force, value of annual budget, total population and geographical area. However, police budgets are constrained and the salaries for PCCs should not be disproportionate to those for other elected posts.
The Home Secretary agreed with the SSRB that PCCs will not receive performance related pay however after careful consideration the recommendation to reduce a PCC's pay pro-rata if they do not carry out the role on a full time basis was not accepted, rather PCCs will be expected to declare any paid or unpaid interests that may conflict with their role or affect the amount of time they have to devote to it.
