The Department for International Development (DFID) does not maintain central records of estimates made in respect of salary costs for newly recruited staff.
Each director within DFID has delegated authority to manage their staff resources, together with any associated pay and related costs.
Prior to the recruitment of any new member of staff (permanent, temporary or agency), the director is required to make an assessment of the cost of the appointment and to confirm they have sufficient funds available within their divisional budget.
