Details of IPSA's staffing arrangements
Request
How many members of staff are currently employed by IPSA (as of 1st March 2011)?
Can you provide me with the job descriptions, person specifications and salary bands relating to all of the current roles at IPSA?
How many different departments does IPSA have, and how many members of staff are employed in each department?
What are the salary bands for all IPSA staff, and how many members of staff are employed in each band?
How many civil servants are currently on secondment to IPSA from other government departments? If any, which departments are they seconded from?
To date, how many IPSA staff have received vouchers under the Reward and Recognition scheme?
Will IPSA be routinely publishing information on the number of staff they employ, their job descriptions and their salaries? i.e. In the format proposed for Member’s staff and used by other government departments.
(I’ve been advised that this is a policy question, so could you redirect to the relevant person.)

Turning to your questions regarding the IPSA staff Reward and Recognition scheme, I can advise that 16 members of staff have received vouchers at a value of between £10 - £20 each.
Finally, turning to your question whether IPSA will routinely publish information on the staff it employs. IPSA already discloses staff job descriptions, which can be found under the FOI section. For your convenience I have provided a copy of the document.
