CPD payment by fire & rescue service (UK)
CPD (Continual Professional Development) is an allowance paid by some authorities. On payslips it may appear as “CPD Payment” (or similar) and is usually paid per pay period (monthly or 4-weekly).
What is CPD payment for?
CPD stands for Continual Professional Development. In practice it’s an allowance linked to professional development / competence requirements. The exact policy can be set locally by the authority/service, so not every service pays the same amount.
If your payslip uses a different amount, override it in the payslip checker using your exact CPD line.
