Decision details

Section 113 Agreement (Guildford and Waverley Councils)

Decision Maker: Joint Chief Executive

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:


(1) To approve a part-time (one day a week) secondment of a Democratic Services Officer (Post no. 32162) from Guildford to provide committee support to Waverley’s Democratic Services team for a temporary period of three months commencing the week beginning Monday 22 April 2024.
(2) To approve a 10% uplift in the salary of Post no. 32162) for the period of the secondment.

The cost to Waverley would be £1,958.

£35,593 x 1.1 (10% uplift) = £39,152
20% (representing one day a week) of £39,152 = £7830
£7,830 divided by 12 = £652.54 per month
£652.54 x 3 months = £1,957.61

Reasons for the decision:

The reasons for appointment are to ensure cover within the service while minimising costs while Waverley recruits to vacant posts in its Democratic Services team. This role will provide experience, and expertise in committee management for Waverley pending such recruitment.

Alternative options considered:

Other options, such as external interim appointments, would increase costs and not make the best use of the expertise that we have.
