Staff Allowances on top of annual salary: FOI Release
Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
Information requested
The number of staff receiving an allowance on top of their annual salary (e.g. IT allowance), broken down by type of allowance, value of allowance, number and grade of staff in receipt.
Response
In your information request you have specifically referred to an IT allowance as an example of the information that you are looking for.
We have therefore interpreted your questions as being about the number of staff receiving a professional allowance or pay supplement in addition to their base pay in relation to roles affected by recruitment and retention difficulties.
The attached PDF (Annex A) sets out the data you have requested as at 31st July 2024.
