Purpose of the report

 

The Council is required by section 38(1) of the Localism Act 2011 (openess and accountability in local pay) to prepare a Pay Policy Statement. 

 

The Local Government Transparency Code 2014 further clarifies and describes the information and data local authorities are required to publish to increase democratic accountability.

 

A Pay Policy Statement must articulate the Council's policies towards a range of issues relating to the pay of its workforce, particularly its senior staff, Chief Officers and its lowest paid employees.

 

A Pay Policy Statement must be prepared for each financial year. It should be approved by Full Council no later than 31st March of each year, prior to the financial year to which it relates and be published on the council's website. 

 

Members have previously approved a draft of this statement, and must now approve it before final approval by Full Council.  Members should note that the policy does not take account of the current senior management restructuring proposals. 

 

RECOMMENDED that the Employment Committee

 

(1)  Approves the Pay Policy Statement attached as Appendix 1, to go forward for approval by the Full Council prior to 31 March 2019.

(2)  Notes  the following revisionsto the statement contained in Appendix 1

 

·         reporting dates which have been amended from 2018/19 to 2019/20

·         revision to section 2.1 to clearly define the living wage rate as set by the Living Wage Foundation

·         the annual salaries have been updated to reflect the 2019 pay award. However the data used for the pay multiples is based on 31 March 2018 so remains the same as the pay multiple contained in the previous report submitted in December 2018.
