In response to the Deputy's question the table outlines the number of staff under my remit who are classified under contracts of indefinite duration and who are receiving incremental salary payments.

OrganisationNumber of staffIncremental salary payments
Public Appointments Service1Yes
Special  EU Programmes Body7Yes
The Valuation Office3Yes
I am informed by the Commissioners of Public Works that contracts of indefinite duration (CIDs) can be applied to a number of the seasonal employees recruited annually.  CIDs apply where seasonal workers have been successful in being re-employed, on fixed term contracts, over a number of years. Incremental salary payments are applied in these instances.  Approximately 200 seasonal employees, mainly guide services at heritage sites, would fall within this category.
