Request detail:
Dear Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service,
I am writing to request your assistance relating to the various pay scales within the fire and rescue service for a research project - “Developing Subnational Purchasing Power Parities for the United Kingdom” – undertaken at Birmingham City University (and part funded with a grant from the ONS).
Specifically, I would like to find out the number of staff in each employment band and the average salary paid in each band. Also, if you could include both the figures with and without national insurance and any regional allowances you use that would be most helpful.
Response detail:
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request. Please find below the information requested.
