Workforce and Pay Remit Financial Process
WPR information is provided to HMT via the Online System for Central Accounting and Reporting (OSCAR) system.
The Workforce and Pay Remit (WPR) data collection is an annual process where departments provide Treasury their forecasts and outturns for the pay round. This helps His Majesty’s Treasury (HMT) to confirm that departments are abiding by the parameters set in the annual pay guidance, to report overall priorities and risks to the Chief Secretary and to set overall civil service (and some other public-sector workforces) pay parameters for future years.
HMT asks each department to submit data covering the department itself, any non-ministerial departments falling within the area of responsibility of their Secretary of State, any agency that they sponsor and any non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) they sponsor.
WPR reports are not published on GOV.UK due to the sensitive pay and employee data they contain.
For information on how to submit your WPR return via OSCAR please refer to the WPR Departmental User Guidance
