1. Introduction
This pay policy statement describes the Council’s policies that relate to the pay of its workforce, particularly its senior officers and its lowest paid workers.
2. Purpose and aim of the policy statement
This document fulfils the requirement of the Localism Act 2011 that local authorities prepare and publish a pay policy statement for each financial year. The pay policy statement is intended to provide sufficient information about pay policy to enable local taxpayers to reach an informed view about local decisions on all aspects of remuneration for relevant employees. It also sets the context for the numerical information that is published by the Council under Local Government Transparency Code 2015 and by The Accounts and Audit (England) Regulations 2011.
