Closed petition PE2068: Review and cap public sector senior management salaries
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to commission an independent review of public sector salaries over £100,000 per annum and introduce an appropriate cap.
Previous action taken
Written to MSPs.
Background information
Most lower-paid public sector workers have to regularly review their role and rate of pay.
Is it acceptable that there are so many people in public sector senior management roles earning more than the Scottish Government Cabinet Secretaries and the First Minister? Examples are CEOs of Councils, NHS trusts, public bodies such as SEPA or Scottish Water, and education establishments.
