Agenda item

Statements by the Leader and Members of the Executive had been circulated with the agenda.  Further to the statement by Councillor B Young, which was printed in the agenda pack, he provided members with an update to the Council's Pay Policy Statement regarding Draft Government Regulations, as follows:

The Pay Policy Committee considered a report at its meeting in July 2016, regarding the changes to be made to the Pay Policy Statement, as a result of the draft Repayment of Public Sector Exit Payments Regulations 2016, for recommendation to this meeting.

Due to delays in finalising the Regulations, the revised Pay Policy Statement cannot be presented to this meeting.

An update will be provided at a future meeting once the position is clarified.

Furthermore, it was anticipated that the Public Sector Exit Cap Regulations, due to be implemented on or around 1st October 2016 will be delayed. Again, a future update will be provided to the Council once full details are known, including how this will impact on the Council's Pay Policy.
