Pay Policy Statement 2025/26
Decision Maker: Council
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
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.
Decision:
1) That Full Council adopts the pay policy statement for 2025/26 attached at Appendix 1.
