Decision details

Agreed

That it is recommended to Council that the:-

(1)        Pay Policy Statement and Appendix be adopted and published in accordance with the legislation; and

(2)        Head of Human Resources - currently HR Transactional Services Manager, be given delegated authority to make necessary amendments to the pay policy statement following any changes in legislation or subsequent increases in pay.

Reason for Decision:

Section 38 (1) of the Localism Act 2011 requires English and Welsh Authorities to produce a statutory Pay Policy Statement each financial year commencing in 2012/13.  The Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government issued further guidance in early 2013.
