Recommendation GP 24/4 of the General Purposes Committee of 24 January 2024

Consideration was given to the recommendations of the General Purposes Committee of 24 January 2024 in respect of the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 and an updated Pay Policy Statement for 2024/25 as set out in Annex 1.

As there had not been many significant changes in the Borough Council’s remuneration policy, apart from the introduction of the Recruitment and Retention Market Supplement Policy in October 2023, the substantive content of the updated Policy was nearly identical to the Borough Council’s first Pay Policy Statement (adopted by the Council on 16 February 2012).

RESOLVED:  That the Pay Policy Statement set out in Annex 1 be endorsed and adopted.

The report summarises the requirements of the Localism Act and presents an updated Pay Policy Statement 2024/25, attached at Annex 1, for Members to consider and commend for adoption at the next full Council meeting.

The report of the Interim Chief Executive summarised the requirements of the Localism Act 2011 and presented an updated Pay Policy Statement for 2024/25 as set out in Annex 1 to the report. 

Members noted that as there had not been many significant changes in the Borough Council’s remuneration policy apart from the addition in respect of the introduction of the Recruitment & Retention Market Supplement Policy in October 2023, the substantive content of the updated Pay Policy Statement in Annex 1 was nearly identical to the Borough Council’s first Pay Policy Statement (adopted by the Council on 16 February 2012).

RECOMMENDED*:  That the Pay Policy set out in Annex 1 be commended for adoption at the next ordinary meeting of the Council.
