Decision details

The Director of Resources and Deputy Chief Executive submitted a report informing Committee of changes to the establishment that had been approved by Personnel Committee, and to agree those were added to the base budget.

Several establishment changes had been approved by Personnel Committee on 28 August 2024. Whilst there were budget implications for these, for 2024/25 they were fully funded from salary savings in year, resulted in savings, or had already been approved into the budget in the past. For 2025/26 the Payroll Officer and Apprentices would need to be added to the base budget. At the top of the grade the Payroll Officer post would be an extra cost of £25,503. The two apprentice posts would also need to be added to the base budget from 2025/26 onwards at a cost of £46,440 (assuming the maximum cost).

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE:

Agree the Payroll Officer and two new Apprentice posts are added to the base budget.
