* Each of our grades have a pay range, from a minimum entry point to a maximum salary. The minimum and maximum salaries are normally revalorised each year subject to HM Treasury pay guidance. The majority of colleagues are on the entry point of the range, with small numbers on salaries above the minimum. Our pay strategy is to reduce the differentials between the minimum and maximum salaries over time.
For London based employees in EHRC pay scales Levels 1-6, the pay range minimum and maximum are increased by £3,200 on account of a London weighting allowance.
