Decision details

RESOLVED

(1)  That the proposed Pay Policy Statement as outlined in appendix 1 to the agenda report be approved subject to the following amendment highlighted in yellow in the ‘Job Profiles’ para namely:

‘Job Profiles

In order to ensure consistent evaluation and to focus authors of job documentation to consider the three factors required to evaluate a post, a new Job Profile template has been developed (see Appendix 1 Job Profile template).  This combines the job description and person specification into one document and is also used where necessary for recruitment advertising and contracts of employment.  This new Job Profile will be used by future Hay panels when evaluating posts.  Each council post will have a Job Profile written for it by the service manager in consultation with the relevant staff member if applicable and this will be used to commence the evaluation process.  Service managers should refer to the re-evaluation process managers guide and will receive support as necessary from the HR or Corporate Improvement teams.’  

(2)  That a comprehensive review of posts based on the Pay Policy Statement be authorised to ensure a consistent and fair pay structure.

(3)  That the release of £25,000 from reserves be authorised to fund temporary staffing within the Human Resources service to support the implementation of this project.
