FAIRNESS OF REMUNERATION PACKAGE

The Notified Signatory for Promotional Certification came out with the highest average salary per legal responsibilities at £92,751 followed by the QPPV with £82,544. As one might expect, there was a rolling decrease in average salary from QPPV (£82,544) to Deputy QPPV (£76,200) to National Contact Person for PV (£74,872) most likely due to the level of responsibilities associated with those roles. It is worth mentioning that there was a very small number of respondents who performed the role of Responsible Person for Devices and the salary range varied significantly. Interestingly, the average salary for those with no legal responsibilities (£61,141) was not the lowest salary, with the appropriately qualified person at £54,323. ‘Others’, with an average salary of £74,362, included but not limited to:

• Company Director

• Responsible Person (GDP/Clinical Trials)

• Head of Quality & Compliance

• Budget Signatory

• SDEA Signatory
