Pay Policy Statement 2025/26

From: Council - Thursday, 30th January, 2025 4.30pm - January 30, 2025

The Localism Act 2011 requires local authorities to produce a pay policy statement to be approved by Council annually before the start of the financial year to which it relates. The aim is to increase accountability, transparency, and fairness in the setting of local pay. The pay policy statement sets out the council’s policies on a range of issues relating to the pay of its workforce, particularly its senior and lowest paid staff. It summarises the parameters within which staff are paid and describes the parameters being governed by a local pay framework set with reference to national terms and conditions, and nationally agreed pay awards.
