Minutes:
The Committee was reminded that the Public Sector Exit Pay Cap Regulations, which came into force on 4 November 2020, implemented a £95,000 cap on exit payments in respect of staff and the Council, at its meeting on 8 December 2020, had approved the amended Pay Policy Statement 2020-21 to reflect the Regulations.
The Pay Policy Statement 2021-22 had been approved by the Council at its meeting on 10 February 2021. However, on 12 February 2021, the Government had revoked the Regulations, which meant that the 2021-22 Pay Policy Statement now needed to be amended.
The Committee considered a report, which would also be considered by the Council at its extraordinary meeting on 4 March 2021, which set out details of the required amendments to the Pay Policy Statement.
Having considered the report, the Committee
RECOMMEND: (to Council: 4 March 2021):
That the proposed amendments to the Pay Policy Statement for the 2021-22 financial year, shown by way of tracked changes in Appendix 1 to the report submitted to the Committee, be approved.
Reason:
The Pay Policy Statement 2021-22 required amendment following the Government’s revocation of the Public Sector Exit Pay Cap announced on 12 February 2021.
