Minutes:
The HR Business Partner presented the report which considered the salaries and terms and conditions of the Council’s Chief Officers.
The HR Business Partner explained that the proposed changes were a direct result of the transition of 65 employees from Publica to the Council, whereas previously the Chief Officers had no line management responsibilities.
The Committee sought assurances that the proposed salaries were reasonable and reflected the employment market for these roles.
The HR Business Partner clarified that the terms and conditions were proposed to change from NJC to JNC. This was because over time the incorrect contracts had been issued.
The recommendation was proposed by Councillor Graham and seconded by Councillor Mead, was put to the vote and agreed unanimously by the Committee.
The Performance and Appointments Committee resolved to recommend to Council to:
1. Approve the appropriate salary for the post of Chief Executive Officer, Director of Finance, and Director of Governance effective from 1 November 2024 and the movement to Joint National Committee (JNC) Terms and Conditions.
