The following details have been supplied by the PCS HQ:
Some pay facts:
Fact 1.
Former Cabinet Secretary Gus O’Donnell told the Guardian in November 2010 that median salary in of a civil servant was lower than the wider public sector, and lower than the private sector.
Fact 2.
In the four years between 2010 and 2013, the cost of living rose faster than civil service pay each year. Figures released by the civil service show that average (median) pay increased by only 6 per cent during these four years. The cost of living, prices, housing and other costs rose by 16 per cent, meaning that the average civil servant is around £2,300 worse-off than in 2010. NB this doesn’t take into account the Public Sector Workers’ tax.
Fact 3.
A recent study by pay consultants Croner shows that civil service pay is now 6.4% below pay of similar private sector jobs
