Market Forces Supplement Policy
It may be necessary from time to time to apply a market force supplement to the assessed grade of a job. Usually this will be as a result of a skills shortage in the jobs market (local or national) or because the market rate for a particular skill set is higher than that determined by local job evaluation and the pay and grading structure.
The purpose of this Policy is to ensure that the attachment of market supplements to posts are properly considered and implemented on a consistent basis.
