School Workforce Census 2014 Overview
Base Pay and Additional Payments
• Schools are NOT being forced to move to the new style of
pay structures in Personnel 7, so it is going to be difficult
for the Census to obtain reliable base pay and additional
payment information.
• We intend to continue to allow school to adjust base pay
manually as necessary.
Scale Information
• The DfE still wants this to be included where available and
relevant, e.g. Senior leadership
