THE TELEGRAPH: David Cameron has vowed to crack down on "crazy" bonuses paid to civil servants as the new Government seeks to reduce the costs of the bloated public sector.
Out of control hand-outs, which this year will be paid to three-quarters of senior civil servants, are to be restricted to high performers.
Under the terms of Whitehall contracts signed by Labour ministers at the height of the recession, bonus payments can not be cancelled by the incoming Government.
In future, however, windfalls across the public sector will be restricted to employees who have performed “exceptionally well,” with only the top 25 per cent eligible for the payments. >>> Rosa Prince, Political Correspondent | Sunday, May 16, 2010
