Performance related pay schemes encourage high attainment because payments have to be earned each year. They help drive high performance in Departments and agencies and support better public service delivery.
Details of the number and total amounts of payments made under the reward schemes in DEFRA's Executive Agencies not covered by DEFRA's terms and conditions are provided as follows.
The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) operates an Annual Appraisal 'Exceeded' performance payment scheme and Special Recognition Scheme, similar to DEFRA's in-year performance payments.
Details of staff who have received payments are shown as follows:

| Notes: The CEFAS performance related pay (PRP) scheme has varied in recent years. It comprises a "corporate performance pay" element payable to eligible staff as well as an "individual performance related pay" (iPRP) element for a smaller proportion of staff. In 2008-09 the weighting of the iPRP element was increased while the corporate pay element decreased. The table shows total costs charged, including CEFAS NI contributions, for both the corporate and iPRP elements. A summary of the 2008-09 scheme allows for: A Corporate performance element for eligible staff (as per total staff) of 2.2 per cent. of salary, explicitly linked to achievement of agreed agency targets. A further corporate performance "growth" element for all eligible staff of up to 1.3 per cent. of salary could be awarded, this must be self-funded and is explicitly linked to generation of additional income from sources other than DEFRA. An iPRP element awarded at two levels, 4 per cent. or 8 per cent., for approximately 25 per cent. and 15 per cent. of staff respectively. | |||||
