Minutes:
The Human Resources Transactional Services Manager presented a report which set out the Council’s Annual Pay Policy Statement 2016/17, and the legal requirement for approval by Council each financial year. Section 38 (1) of the Localism Act 2011 required English and Welsh Authorities to produce a statutory Pay Policy Statement each financial year. There had been no significant changes, but he confirmed that the revised policy and appendix circulated with the report had taken account of the increase in the nationally determined living wage (Grades 1 and 2) in November 2015, which comes into effect at Exeter City Council on 1 April 2016. The implementation of the nationally negotiated pay award for employees on Spinal Column Points 12 – 52 inclusive and Chief Officers and Chief Executives for 2016/17 was still subject to national agreement.
Scrutiny Committee - Resources recommended that:-
(1) the Council’s annual Pay Policy Statement for 2016/17, be adopted and published following approval by Council in accordance with the legislation; and
(2) delegated authority be given to the Head of Human Resources - currently the HR Transactional Services Manager to make necessary amendments to the pay policy statement following any changes in legislation or subsequent increases in pay.
