Decision details

That Council be recommended to approve:

1.      The Pay Policy Statement for 2022 - 2023.

2.      The publication of the Pay Policy Statement in line with the requirements of the Localism Act 2011.

That Council be recommended to note:

1.      That the national pay award for National Joint Council (NJC) and Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) Chief Officers and Chief Executives had not been agreed, at the time of writing the Pay Policy Statement.

2.   That in the absence of the NJC having yet reached a pay agreement for 2021, SCPs 1 and 2 would fall below the statutory NLW. Organisations must therefore ensure that employees currently paid on those two pay points have their pay increased with effect from 1 April 2022 to £9.50 per hour. These updated figures would continue to be paid until NJC reaches a settlement on pay for 2021.
