Decision details

31.1     The Committee considered a report by the Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development on the proposed Pay Policy Statement, as set out in the report, for recommendation to the County Council (copy appended to the signed minutes). On the final page of the Pay Policy Statement at Appendix 1 it was noted that the last paragraph should be numbered 15.3.

31.2     In response to a question as to why the pay multiples set out in Appendix 2 of the report only went up to 31 March 2022 the Head of HR Specialist Services confirmed that the figures presented needed to be based on actual rather than predicted earnings.

31.3     Members asked whether there was any benchmark data to show how the County Council compared to similar authorities. The Head of HR Specialist Services agreed to check and circulate details to members of the Committee.

31.4     With regard to paragraph 5.2 of the Policy which covered incremental progression members questioned the phrase ‘satisfactory’ performance. The Head of HR Specialist Services confirmed this was in accordance with the Performance Management Policy.

31.5     Resolved – That, subject to the minor correction set out at minute 31.1 above, the Pay Policy Statement, as set out in Appendix 1, to the report, be recommended to the County Council for approval.
