Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

Local Authorities are under a duty to prepare and maintain a list of posts in respect of which the annual rate of remuneration is £19,500 or above.

These Regulations, which apply to the whole of Great Britain, increase the annual rate of remuneration at which posts are required to be entered in the list. The increased amount for posts in England and Wales is in some cases £19,632, which is the annual rate of remuneration currently attributed to spinal column point 44 by the National Joint Council for Local Authorities' Administrative, Professional, Technical and Clerical Services and for posts in Scotland is £19,650.

In other cases, in England and Wales, the annual rate of remuneration which is specified is a higher amount and includes inner London weighting of £1722, outer London weighting of £912, inner fringe allowance of £411 and outer fringe allowance of £282 a year, according generally to the area in which the duties of the post are principally discharged.
