The panel received a report of the Executive Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development which asked members to consider the pay scales for senior staff, specifically the role of Executive Director.

 

The Executive Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development advised that the report was asking the committee to consider the pay grade for the tier 2 officers within the council.  These posts were member appointments.  The council had worked with the East of England Local Government Association, who had supported the council and reviewed the proposed salary structure.  The salary level was based on Watford’s closeness to London, the demanding workload of the roles and the council’s ambitious plans.  Benchmarking had been carried out and shown as an appendix to the report.

 

The Executive Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development responded to questions from the Panel.

 

RESOLVED –

 

1.      that the proposed new pay band for Executive Directors be approved.

 

2.      that the post of Executive Director be appointed to on NJC terms and conditions of employment and is a member appointment.
