My understanding of the PAS is that funds can be made available for the excavation, recording and recovery (ERR) of finds, albeit in a retrospective sense, when each PAS officer presents their costs to HLF every 3 months. I am sure that in exceptional circumstances the potential costs of ERR could be agreed by the relevant HLF Project monitor at the time of the discovery of the find.
Of course it is up to you whether you personally want to (and can afford to) do pro bono work for for your pet PAS officer. If the thought of finacial reward would sully your relationship, why don't you ask for some return backscratching i.e free access to SMR data, invite to the PAS Christmas party, free photocopies of archaeological 'grey literature' in your planning area.
