Issue details

A report was presented to the 11th March 2019 Employment Committee by Oliver Starkey, Head of Service for Public and Integrated Transport related to the recruitment and retention of technicians in Fleet Services.

This meeting resolved that

i) Consideration of the report be deferred pending a review of the council's fleet service operations by external consultants.
ii) That a report on the review findings in relation to staffing related matters be presented to the committee.

The review by the external consultant's has been completed and in relation to the pay of skilled vehicle and plant technicians have recommended that an increase in salary should be based on additional responsibilities and requirements rather than a recruitment and retention payment.

This report outlines the changes in the posts that are proposed by the service. The proposed revised job role has been assessed under the council's Job Evaluation process
