This report considers how to make pay more market-facing in local areas for staff within the Body's remit. In a document entitled 'Fair and sustainable' developed jointly with the trades unions, the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) proposed replacing the existing Locality Pay Allowance with a basic national pay range with London enhancements. For staff on the pay range maxima included in this paper, working 37 hours per week and without an unsocial hours payment, the inner and outer London scales are respectively £3,800 and £2,500 a year higher than the national scale. Both NOMS and the unions requested that those proposals be given an opportunity to 'bed in' before considering whether any additional local pay flexibilities are needed. This report supports that view and recommends implementing the NOMS proposals before further consideration
