Issue - meetings

The Human Resources and Organisational Development Service Manager introduced the report and explained that it was a statutory requirement to for the council to post the pay policy statement on their website annually. He asked that the Committee consider the statement and give comments prior to it going before Council for approval.

Councillor Swainston said that the statement was very clear and well set out. She said that it was helpful that the number of employees on each grade was also included.

Councillor Buckmaster referred to the date 2024/2025 on the statement and asked if this should read 2025/2026.

The Human Resources and Organisational Development Service Manager said that the text should read 2025/2026 and that this error would be corrected.

Councillor Willcocks referred paragraph 5.9 of the report and asked for clarification of the asterisks which appeared next to certain job roles.

The Human Resources and Organisational Development Service Manager said that the asterisks indicated that the post holder had specifics within their contracts.

It was moved by Councillor Connolly and seconded by Councillor Buckmaster, that the recommendations, as detailed, be approved. After being put to the meeting and a vote taken, this motion was declared CARRIED.

RESOLVED – that the Pay Policy Statement 2025/26 be recommended for approval by Council.
