Issue - meetings

The Committee considered a report of the Director of Corporate Resources which sought approval of the Council’s Pay Policy Statement for 2019/20.  A copy of the report marked ‘Agenda Item 7’ is filed with these minutes.

It was noted that the Chief Digital and Information Officer was incorrectly listed as an officer of the Chief Executive’s Department, this should be corrected to the Corporate Resources Department,

The Committee was advised there would be a complete revision of the bottom of the national payscales for 2019.  The County Council was close to finalising similar revisions to its own payscale, which would respond to the requirements of the National Living Wage, allow for incremental progression and ensure that the payscales were future-proofed.  Final proposals would be presented to a future meeting of the Employment Committee.  This report would also include commentary on the ratio between the highest paid employee and the median average salary of the Council’s workforce and set out the changes to this ratio over time.

RESOLVED:

That the Pay Policy Statement 2019/20 be approved for submission to the meeting of the full County Council on 5 December 2018.
