Minutes:

At the Chairman’s invitation, Cllr Allison Bucknell as Chairman of the Staffing Policy Committee, presented a report regarding the updated Pay Policy Statement and publication of senior staff pay. The Policy Statement had been considered by the Staffing Policy Committee at its meeting on 9 January 2013 which recommended its approval.

 

Council was advised that under section 38 of the Localism Act 2011 every local authority was required to prepare and publish a pay policy statement for the financial year 2012/13 and this must be updated in each subsequent financial year.  The statement had been updated for 2013/14 to reflect current headcount, budget and redundancy figures.  It was noted that there had been no significant changes.

 

Resolved:

 

(a)  That the updated Pay Policy Statement set out in Appendix 1 of the report presented be approved

 

(b)  That the continued publication of senior staff salaries with a threshold of £52,800, along with job descriptions, budget responsibilities and numbers of staff be approved, with individuals being asked to consent for their names to be included.
