Decision details

The Committee considered a report on the County Council's draft pay policy statement for 2018/19.

It was noted that the Localism Act 2011 required local authorities to prepare a pay policy statement each year.  The statement must articulate the authority's approach to a range of issues relating to the pay of its workforce, particularly its chief officers and its lowest paid employees. The Full Council was required to approve the statement prior to it coming into force. 

A copy of the draft pay policy statement including the proposed Living Wage for 2018/19 was presented at Appendix 'A'.  Details of the changes to the 2018/19 pay policy statement were presented.

Resolved: 

That Full Council be recommended to approve:

(i)  the annual adjustment to the Living Wage for centrally employed staff for 2018/19, as set out at Appendix 'A'.

(ii)  the 2018/19 pay policy statement, as set out at Appendix 'A'.
