Agenda and minutes

The Head of People and Property Services submitted a report on the Pay Policy Statement 2014/15.  The Director of Finance and Support Services stated that the Pay Policy Statement needed to be agreed every financial year and published annually under Sections 38 to 43 of the Localism Act 2011.  She summarised what the statement needed to include in terms of the Council’s policies and explained the definition of the term “remuneration”, and payments, including any bonuses, to senior officers, the detail of which was set out in the report.

The Director of Finance and Support Services drew Members’ attention to an amendment under “Pay Ceilings” within Essential Reference Paper “B”, stating that the second paragraph should now read “The basic pay ceiling (i.e. including additional payments and professional fees where appropriate) for Director posts will be £90,000”.

The Committee supported the report, as now amended and recommended its approval.

RECOMMENDED - that the Pay Policy Statement for 2014/15, as now amended, be approved.
