MoD staff to share £41m in bonuses months after critical report

Civil servants at the Ministry of Defence are to share more than £41.3m in "appraisal-related annual bonus payments" less than four months after they were criticised by a Commons watchdog committee for allowing procurement costs to overrun by £2.6bn.

A group of 186 senior staff are to receive an average of more than £7000 each on top of their salaries. By contrast, an infantry private fighting on Afghanistan's front line is paid just £15,600 a year.

In addition, 13 special "fixed term appointees" to the MoD are in line to pocket £22,000 apiece from the public purse and another four are still negotiating their bonus terms. A further 52,000 junior civil servants are to receive an average of £761 a head.


Im sure these REMF'S deserve it....!!!

Congratulations to the Civil Servants for getting a bonus for doing their job. I have no complaints about that, I only believe that we should get performance related pay (PRP) as well.

You already do. It's called an AIP... DT_Xtremez_42:

Mug,

I have had the misfortune to work with a lot at the "grassroots level" and most of them are wasters.
They turn up and suddenly they are SGT WO OFFICER equivalent!
True. Some do get that privilege. Some (self included) are Officer equivalent.
They go to the mess and haven't any resect for the traditions.
In our Mess, The Ex Service Civils are emphatic about Mess Traditions and the steadfast nurturing of Junior Members into those traditions.
they then phone in sick cos they have had a few beers-or its womens problems( dependant on sex)
I can only speak for myself – 3 days off sick in 11 yrs 3 months.
Refuse to work late, weekends, cover on call. "NOT IN MY CONTRACT!"
Two of us in my Section. Over the past 12 months we have logged 16 tasks which extended beyond midnight (after a full shift in the section), 21 Weekend tasks and we provide, between the two of us, 1 hour readiness, 24/7, 365 (366 in leap year) via pager.
Refuse to lower themselves to tasks such as emptying the bin or wiping round the T-bar.
If we don’t do it, nobody else does!
Never do Keys
Every day!
Never go out in the rain
In South Wales …… YOU MUST BE HAVING A LAUGH!
And if they need to go somewhere and can't use the section car they start filling an allowance claim in.
What Section car?
They go in a hotel while we have to live in transit on courses.
Only been put into a hotel once. All other times have been Messes.

MontyPlumbs,

You obviously don't work on any IPT. From what I've heard, 90% of the civvies involved with these "management teams" couldn't manage a p1ss up in a brewery.

Correct - Thank Heavens!
