Council considered a detailed report relating to the Pay Policy Statement for 2025/26 presented by the HR and Payroll Manager which sought approval for the Council’s Pay Policy Statement for 2025/26. This was a requirement of Section 38 of the Localism Act 2011 and Supplementary Guidance 2013.

The Pay Policy Statement had to be approved by Council on an annual basis and reflected the current position based on decisions previously taken by Council.

Under the Local Government Transparency Code 2015 additional organisational information was required to be published annually on the website. This consisted of third tier organisation charts, senior salaries information, including functional responsibilities, budget amounts and numbers of staff responsible for, together with details of trade union facility time.

Moved by Councillor Rob Hiney-Saunders and seconded by Councillor Steve Fritchley RESOLVED that the Pay Policy Statement 2025/26 be approved.
