Issue - meetings

The Director of Resources submitted a report updating members on the implementation of the recent pay review.

Members were reminded that at the meeting of the 27 October 2021 Committee recommended a package of proposals to address recruitment and retention issues be submitted to the 9 November 2021 Policy and Finance Committee for approval.  Those proposals were duly approved at the meeting and latterly agreed with UNISON following a ballot of members and receipt of national approval.

Since then, work has been ongoing to process the changes to salaries and they will be implemented in the January pay.

Members were also reminded that the initial remit of the Pay Working Group was to look at pay in respect of staff who were employed on NJC conditions of service and did not consider the pay of those on Chief Officer conditions.

RESOLVED THAT COMMITTEE

1.    Received the report.

2.      Reconvene the Pay Structure Working Group to review the pay of Chief Officers.
