Issue - meetings

The Cabinet Member for Strategic Finance, Corporate Resources and Transformational Change summarised the report and explained that the policy was required annually and that some administrative changes had been made from the previous policy, including the removal of the fire service.

The Chairman noted that the gender pay gap had increased by 11 per cent and felt that this was not a good indicator of a council that wished to treat people fairly. He asked whether there were any plans in place to address the gap and ensure there were no differences. Assurance was given that the council was continuing to work to address the issues.

The recommendation was proposed and duly seconded.

A vote was taken, the result of which was:

RESOLVED:

That the updated pay policy as drafted for the period 1 April 2022 – 31 March 2023 be approved.
