Salford City Council Pay Policy Statement with Pay Multiple Data

Salford City Council's Pay Policy Statement provides information on the council's pay multiple. The dataset details the ratio between the highest paid taxable earnings and the median earnings of the authority's workforce, as required by the Local Government Transparency Code 2014. The data is published by the Government Digital Service under an Open Government Licence.

Use Cases

Limitations
