The Chief Executive and Directors
The Chief Executive and the Directors are employed on ILF terms
and conditions.
All senior managers (Chief Executive and Directors) receive a salary
and are members of the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme (PCSPS).
Patrick Boyle was appointed as the Chief Executive, on loan from DWP,
on 12 January 2009.
The Trustees have decided to set a policy regarding the senior
management pay structure as follows:
• to create a fair and transparent pay structure offering salaries in line
with the roles and demands on the personnel in those posts; and
• to offer competitive salaries to enable the ILF to attract personnel
of the required calibre to fill its senior management posts.
Trustees have aligned their decision with the key features of DWP’s
pay policy as follows:
• aligning reward with the business objectives to encourage high
performance and improve the focus on the delivery of service;
• creating an opportunity to earn bonuses;
• ensuring reward arrangements are affordable;
• creating a level of salary progression which stops except for those showing
a superior performance – superior performance would be recognition of
meeting all objectives and exceeding targets in some areas, whilst also
showing a number of key behaviours which are regarded as high value;
• establishing a relativity of Executive Directors’ salaries at about 65% of
that of the Chief Executive; and
• progression is subject to performance expectations (performance below
the expectation would mean no progression and management action
would be necessary for less than adequate performance).
