Public Service Pay Bill 2020

Public bill · Government · Presented

Eases the limits on pay rises for public servants that were put in place during the financial emergency, so pay and allowances can be increased in more cases, including where the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform approves it. It also tidies up related employment and ministerial approval rules so that pay changes made under the updated system do not need extra sign-off, and it aligns the timing of other public service pay restrictions being lifted.
