The Chairman invited Tony Kavanagh, Assistant Director – Human Resources and Organisational Development to present the report to the Committee.  He advised that there had not been any significant changes since the previous year, and negotiations were still ongoing with trade unions with respect to the NJC for Local Government Services for salaries  above spinal column point (SCP) 15.

 

A copy of the Pay Policy Statement for the year 2022/23 was attached at Appendix A of the report for the Committee’s consideration.

 

The Committee was advised that the policy had been updated to reflect the following:

·       Fire and Rescue Service Management Team salaries from 1 January 2021

·       Salary Structure from 1 April 2021 – 2022 – NJC for Local Government Services (SCP 1 – 15).

 

It was highlighted that following the publication of the agenda, notification was received late the previous week that the Chief Executive pay bargain had been resolved with a 1.5% inflationary pay award.  The policy would be updated prior to it being submitted to the County Council for approval.
