Request

Please can you supply me the following:

1) The names and job titles of any person employed by your public body (either as a staff member, a freelancer, a contractor), who was paid over £100,000 in the financial years 2009/10 and 2008/9. I appreciate that 2009/10 isn’t over yet but as most of the people listed above are on fixed salaries can you please tell me who is on over 100 grand for this year?

2) If anyone left in the middle of a financial year but would have earned £100,000 or more had they stayed on, can you tell us about them as well, please?

3) Can you tell us who signed off on these £100,000+ incomes… (e.g. was it a select committee, the Head of HR, the boss (and if it was the boss who was on over £100,000 a year who agreed on his or her salary).

4) Can you please give us the details of any bonuses, pension contributions, over-time extras, ‘golden handshakes’, ‘golden farewells’ and redundancy payments that the people you mention above received in the financial years 2008/9 and 2009/10?

Clarification Rec'd 08/03/2010

I omitted to include that as well as knowing WHO is paid over £100,000 I would also like to know exactly WHAT they are paid or the relevant pay bracket (with details). Can I also make clear that this is for those on a fixed salary of £100,000 gross.
