Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be paid if I am appointed?
It depends - some public appointments are paid and others are not. You can always find out before you apply, because details of any remuneration will be included in both the publicity and the application pack. Also, whether or not the appointment is paid, you will be entitled to claim any reasonable expenses you incur in carrying out your work for the public body (for example the cost of travelling to a board meeting and often care costs for children or other dependants while attending meetings). Current levels of remuneration for each public body can be found in the Directory of Public Bodies on the Scottish public appointments website – www.appointed-for-scotland.org
