Median Salary Disclosure
Reporting bodies are required to disclose the
relationship between the remuneration of the
highest-paid director in their organisation and the
median remuneration of the organisation’s workforce.
The banded remuneration of the highest-paid director
in the Northern Ireland Prison Service in the financial
year 2012-13 was £130-135k (2011-12, £130-
135k). This was 4.71 times (2011-12, 4.06 times) the
median remuneration of the workforce, which was
£28,137 (2011-12, £32,605).
Total remuneration includes salary, nonconsolidated
performance-related pay, benefits in kind but
excludes severance payments. It does not include
employer pension contributions and the cash
equivalent transfer value of pensions.
Salary
‘Salary’ includes gross salary; overtime; reserved
rights to London weighting or London allowances;
recruitment and retention allowances; private office
allowances and any other allowance to the extent
that it is subject to UK taxation and any gratia
payments. The salary range reflects remuneration
for the months in office, but where relevant the full
year equivalent (FYE) is also provided. The Agency
did not make any contributions to a Board Member’s
partnership pension account.
Benefits in Kind
The monetary value of benefits in kind covers any
benefits provided by the employer and treated by HM
Revenue and Customs as a taxable emolument. The
net benefits in kind shown above are in respect of
detached duty allowances and expenses, on which the
tax payable is met by the Department.
Bonuses
Bonuses are based on performance levels attained
and are made as part of the appraisal process.
Bonuses relate to the performance in the year in
which they become payable to the individual. The
bonuses reported in 2012-13 relate to performance
in 2012-13 and the comparative bonuses reported for
2011-12 relate to the performance in 2011-12.
