PART 6

 

Table (a)

PAY FOR SUPERINTENDING RANKS with effect from 1.9.96

 

1.        The new pay ranges and salary rates for Superintendents from 1st September 1996 were as follows:-

 

RANGE 1
Pay
Point		Salary p.a
1.		£40,080
2.		£41,337
3.		£42,594		RANGE 2
4.		£43,851		Pay
5.		£45,249		Point		Salary p.a
6.		£46,755		6.		£46,755
				7.		£47,571
				8.		£48,609
				9.		£49,755

 

2.        The above ranges and salary rates replaced all previous arrangements with effect from midnight on 1 September 1996.  Superintendents in post at 1st September 1996 or appointed since that date onto the ranges and rates effective from 1st September 1995 were to be assimilated onto the new ranges and rates in accordance with the assimilation table.  Superintendents then on the old basic range and old higher range 1 (as defined in Table (b)) were to assimilate to range 1.  Superintendents then on the old higher ranges 2 and 3 (as defined in Table (b)) were to assimilate to range 2.

 

3.        Both ranges were incremental.  Superintendents promoted after 1 September 1996 were to start at the bottom of the range for the post to which they had been promoted and progress by annual increments thereafter.  The only exception was to be for officers appointed from a range 1 post to a range 2 post who were already paid on £46,755.  Such officers were to start on £47,571.

 

4.        From 1 September 1996 onwards, it was expected that the Chief Constable of each force would allocate a majority of posts to range 1.  Other than in exceptional circumstances no newly promoted Superintendent would be placed directly onto range 2.  The normal expectation was that Superintendents would gain experience in range 1 posts before being appointed to a range 2 post.

 

5.        The new pay ranges were to continue to apply to posts but, once a Superintendent had been substantively appointed to a range 2 post, he/she was to continue on range 2 even if subsequently appointed to a range 1 post.

 

         6.      The detailed provisions for that were to operate the new pay ranges are set out in Tables (a) and (b) Operation of the new pay ranges.

 

7.               (1) Where a member of a police force-

 

   (a)        held the rank of superintendent, and

 

(b)        immediately before 1st September 1978 held the rank of chief superintendent with an annual pay greater than £8,703,

 

his annual pay determined fell to be increased by £147.

 

(2)           Where immediately before 1st September 1978 the annual pay of a superintendent was greater than £7,839, his annual pay fell to be increased by £42.

 

Table (b)
