Description
This circular notifies the service of increases to Scottish Distant Islands Allowance rates, effective from 1 April 2024.
This allowance is non-superannuable but taxable and should be paid with salaries and wages. It remains payable during periods of sick leave but shall not be taken into account for overtime or other enhancements of pay.
The rates have been uplifted by 5.5%. The new rates have been calculated on the basis of a cumulative uplift using the rate put in place from 1 April 2006 as the baseline figure to maintain relativity. Rates may therefore differ slightly from figures calculated by applying the relevant uplift to the 2023 figures.
