That the new pay scales created for apprentices that are recruited into the Council be approved.

Councillor Val Gibson presented the Apprenticeship Pay Scale for approval. The proposed pay scale would not discriminate against apprentices who were younger but carrying out the same level of apprenticeship as older colleagues. The pay scale would offer a reasonable wage with progression and a career pathway to ensure that it would be an attractive option to encourage quality candidates. The simplified pay scale would also allow managers to budget for an apprentice in advance of the recruitment process.

Resolved:

That the new pay scales created for apprentices that are recruited into the Council be approved.
