To consider a report of the Chief Executive setting out the proposed Pay Statement for 2024/25.

The Committee considered a report of the Chief Executive regarding the County Council’s Pay Statement for financial year 2024/25.

The Committee heard that following publication of this report, the Pay Settlement for 2023/24 had been agreed and that this statement would be updated prior to it being considered by Full Council in February next year.

The main points of the report were summarised and Members noted that Section 39 of the Localism Act requires that a Pay Statement required under the Localism Act is prepared and approved by full Council prior to 31 March immediately preceding the year to which it relates.

RESOLVED:

1.    That the EHCC Committee recommends to the County Council approval of the Pay Statement as detailed in the report and at Appendix A, setting out the County Council’s policies in respect of pay accountability for the financial year 2024/25 in accordance with the requirements of the Localism Act.

2.      That the EHCC Committee delegates authority to the Chief Executive, in consultation with the Chairman of the Chairman of the EHCC Committee, to make any changes to the draft Pay Statement consequential upon any changes to legislative requirements or other statutory guidance or changes to remuneration of staff, the creation of new roles, and changes to existing roles or responsibilities determined prior to consideration of the Pay Statement by Full Council.
