Decision details

25.1     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). It was noted that on page 14 the second paragraph 15.2 should read 15.3.

25.2     Cllr Burrett asked whether the changes to paragraph 9.4 of the Statement in relation to the abatement of pensions meant that only members in the schemes in paragraph 9.3 which have closed, are subject to the rules on abatement. The Head of HR Specialist Services said he believed that to be correct but that he would check with Pension Fund officers and let Cllr Burrett know.

25.3     Cllr Jupp commented that, whilst there is still a joint Chief Executive, the first sentence of paragraph 6.6 of the Statement would be clearer if it read ‘Leader of West Sussex County Council’ rather than just ‘Leader’ and this was agreed.

25.4     Resolved – That, with the two minor amendments above, the proposed revisions to the Pay Policy Statement, set out in Appendix 1, be endorsed for recommendation to the County Council.
