Remuneration <strong>Report</strong> for the<br />

year ended 31 March 20<strong>10</strong><br />

Benefits in kind<br />

As part of the loan agreement with DWP, the ILF pays the deposit, rent <strong>and</strong><br />

council tax on the apartment in Nottingham of Patrick Boyle (Chief Executive<br />

from 12 January <strong>2009</strong>). This arrangement is more cost-effective than paying<br />

hotel <strong>and</strong> travel costs for the period of the loan agreement. In addition, a<br />

lease car is provided <strong>and</strong> he is reimbursed for the cost of petrol for travelling<br />

from London to Nottingham. From 1 April <strong>2009</strong> to 31 March 20<strong>10</strong>, the Chief<br />

Executive received £40,200 (to the nearest £<strong>10</strong>0) in benefits in kind (£<strong>10</strong>,<strong>10</strong>0<br />

for the period 12 January <strong>2009</strong> to 31 March <strong>2009</strong>).<br />

The Chief Executive Officer is the only employee to receive benefits in kind.<br />

Bonus payments<br />

Bonus payments for the Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> Directors are non-consolidated<br />

<strong>and</strong> are not pensionable. These can be up to <strong>10</strong>% of salary based on<br />

superior performance. The bonus payment for the Chief Executive for<br />

2008-09 was awarded by DWP but paid by the ILF in line with SCS rules.<br />

Service contracts<br />

It is ILF policy to recruit senior managers on the basis of fair <strong>and</strong> open<br />

competition. Such appointments are ‘open-ended’ as the ILF does not<br />

have a formal retirement age.<br />

The Chairman of the Board of Trustees appraises the Chief Executive’s<br />

performance, <strong>and</strong> the Chief Executive appraises the Directors’ performance.<br />

Any issue arising in connection with individual performance, including<br />

termination of appointment, would be dealt within this context.<br />

The following sections provide details of the remuneration <strong>and</strong> pension<br />

interests of the Chief Executive <strong>and</strong> Directors.<br />

Most members of the senior management team are employed under<br />

permanent employment contracts with the two exceptions. Firstly, Patrick<br />

Boyle, Chief Executive, is on a two-year loan from DWP with effect from<br />

12 January <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
