Report by Executive Director of Resources

The Executive Director of Resources submitted a report setting out the Council’s policy on pay for 2025/26 and information about changes to pay scales for the Council’s workforce.  The Pay Policy Statement was attached to the report at Appendix A.

The report explained that the Pay Policy Statement met the statutory duty to provide the Council with a description of the policy on staff remuneration for annual approval. It provided information on remuneration arrangements for staff directly employed by the Council, excluding staff in schools.  The Statement was broadly unchanged from 2024/25 other than it had been updated with the recent nationally agreed pay settlements.

The following Motion was moved by Councillor Emberson and seconded by Councillor Terry and CARRIED:

Resolved –

That the Council note the Pay Policy statement for 2025/2026.
