(a)       That subject to the amendment, the appended draft Pay Policy Statement for 2023/24 be approved; and

(b)       That delegated authority be given to the Corporate Manager (People and Organisational Development) to update the Pay Policy Statement 2023/24 during the course of the year to reflect any changes required by legislation, Government policy or national negotiations so that it remains accurate and current.

Members were asked to approve the Pay Policy Statement for 2023/24 to enable publication within the statutory deadline.  This was the eleventh annual statement published by the Council and reflected current arrangements regarding pay, incorporating updates as well as a new section confirming the Council’s position on payment for leavers.

Prior to its publication, the typographical error on section 6(iv) of the Policy Statement relating to the basic salary of Chief Officer Point 3 would be amended.

On that basis, the recommendations were moved and seconded by Councillors Bernie Attridge and Billy Mullin.

RESOLVED:

(b)       That delegated authority be given to the Corporate Manager (People and Organisational Development) to update the Pay Policy Statement 2023/24 during the course of the year to reflect any changes required by legislation, Government policy or national negotiations so that it remains accurate and current.
