The government expects there will be around 1.3m public sector employees in direct scope of the temporary pause in pay uplifts. This is the sum of the workforces for which central government is responsible for setting pay.

Within this number, those earning less than £24,000 on a full-time equivalent basis will still receive a pay rise, of at least £250.
