Issue - meetings

Members considered the annual pay policy report which is a requirement of the Localism Act 2011. 

The Portfolio Holder for Assets & Resources advised that:

·       the Policy had been reviewed by the Appointments & Remuneration Committee (ARC); 

·       the policy set out:

o   officer role definitions;

o   detail of the job evaluation scheme and process;

o   relationship between the highest and lowest paid staff.

The policy was recommended to Council for adoption.  Cllr Connett questioned the re-engagement of officers following redundancy within four weeks, he submitted that if another job was available, why were they not re-deployed.  In response, Cllr Barker advised he shared the concerns and would raise them with ARC at next year’s review.

The Portfolio Holder recommended the report for approval.

Resolved

That the Annual Pay Policy Statement for 2018/19 be approved.
