The 'extraordinary' payment went to the boss of the Water Industry Commission for Scotland.
Alan Sutherland, chief executive of the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, was paid a gross salary of £183,240 in 2021/22One of Scotland's highest-paid public servants has been given a £14,000 payment for some of the annual leave he did not use.
The public body - which is the economic regulator of Scottish Water - said this was an "extraordinary measure" for leave which could not be used up during the year, and that no further payments have been made. Mr Sutherland has been in charge of Wics since the regulator was created in 2005 and his salary is higher than the £157,861 Nicola Sturgeon earns as an MSP and first minister.
