Administrative / biographical background

The records were created by Pay Group from 1982 after the function for public sector pay passed from the Civil Service Department to the Treasury upon the dissolution of the former. Pay Division 1 created the records and was responsible for: general pay issues in the non-industrial civil service; pay of the Administrative Group, the higher civil service and related grades; pay of middle and administrative grades and ministerial remuneration.

In 1984 Pay Group became the Pay and Allowances Command. Pay Division 1 became Pay 1 Division under this new Command. There under three branches existed. Public and private sector pay was the responsibility of Branch 3 whose other duties were: monitoring of current policy and pay; liaison with expenditure divisions on the public spending aspects of pay; liaison with forecasters on future assumptions; some case work unallocated elsewhere.

In 1985 the title of the Command reverted back to 'Pay Group' whilst the structure of Pay 1 Division remained unaltered.
