Decision details

36.1   The Committee was reminded that the current Pay Policy Statement had been approved by the County Council in February 2018. Members were informed that recently it had been identified that elements of the statement which related to certain pay review and pay award arrangements were not aligned to Human Resources polices and arrangements, including the scheme of officer delegation. The Committee was therefore asked to consider a report by the Director of Human Resources and Organisational Change on changes to the previously-published statement for recommendation to the County Council (copy appended to the signed minutes).

36.2   Mr Burrett queried whether the references to staff groups in paragraphs 4.6 and 5.3 of the statement in Appendix 1 to the report should be the same and said the word ‘are’ needed to be deleted from paragraph 5.3.  He also suggested that paragraphs 9.4 and 9.5 could be amalgamated.  The Director of Human Resources and Organisational Change agreed to look at the points raised and amend the statement as necessary before it was submitted for consideration by the County Council.

36.3  Resolved - That the proposed revisions to the text of the Pay Policy Statement, as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, subject to the points set out in minute 36.2 above, be endorsed for recommendation to the County Council.
