Decision details

Councillor Hargreaves presented the report on an updated Pay Policy. He said the report proposed a minor in-year amendment to the Pay Policy, so as to provide for a supplementary payment for any Statutory Officers [Head of Paid Service, Section 151 Officer or Monitoring Officer] or Deputy Statutory Officers [ie deputies to those three posts] whose substantive grade was below grade 13 [Assistant Director]. This was to allow for greater flexibility in seeking to attract candidates to hard to recruit functions and associated roles.

Councillor Lees seconded the proposal.

The proposal was carried unanimously.

            RESOLVED:

i.              To introduce a Statutory Officers Allowance of £10,000 per annum, to be paid only to Statutory Officers on Grades 12 and below. This allowance will be subject to the normal deductions such as Tax, NI and Pension and will be paid on a monthly basis. Statutory Officers on grades 13 to 15 will not be entitled to this allowance as these duties are already included in the grade and salary of the post.

ii.                  To introduce a Deputy Statutory Officers Allowance of £3,000 per annum, to be paid only to Deputy Statutory Officers on Grades 12 and below. This allowance will be subject to the normal deductions such as Tax, NI and Pension and will be paid on a monthly basis. Deputy Statutory Officers on grades 13 to 15 will not be entitled to this allowance as these duties are already included in the grade and salary of the post.
