Pay Policy Statement 2015/16

Extract from the proceedings of the Policy & Resources Committee meeting held on the 19th March 2015 (copy to follow), together with a report of the Interim Executive Director for Finance & Resources (copy attached).

Minutes:

75.1         Councillor Sykes introduced the report which detailed the council’s pay policy for 2015/16 and noted that it was the fourth edition of the policy that the council was required to publish.  He therefore moved that the policy be approved and adopted by the council.

 

75.2         Councillor Duncan stated that he was disappointed by the information provided under the equalities implications paragraph and suggested that greater transparency could have been provided in terms of the pay grades within the council.  He suggested that there was a need to give further consideration to the levels of pay and to bring them into closer alignment across the organisation.

 

75.3         Councillor Sykes stated that the equalities impact assessment that had been undertaken showed that the council was ahead of other authorities in this regard and noted that the council had met its objective of having a ratio of 10:1 in terms of top to bottom for pay.

 

75.4         The Mayor noted that the recommendations had been moved and put them to a vote which was carried.

 

75.5         RESOLVED: That the pay policy statement 2015/16 as detailed in appendix 1 to the report be approved and adopted.
