(Report of the Assistant Chief Executive People and Organisational Development – To be introduced by the Leader): To endorse the implementation of a revised set of employment terms for Council staff in accordance with the NJC for Local Authorities staff National Pay Settlement in 2001 relating to Equal Pay/Single Status.

Equal Pay Review Agreement (Report of the Assistant Chief Executive People and Organisational Development - Agenda Item 24)

Details of the contracts which were set out in the Appendices to the

interleaved report were the subject of a motion to exclude the press and

public from the meeting as they contained exempt information relating to  consultations or negotiations in connection with labour relations matters between the authority and employees of the authority.

We noted that the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee had

agreed that the decision in respect of this matter was both reasonable in all the circumstances and that it should be treated as a matter of urgency for the purposes of Paragraph 18 of Part 4 Section H of the Constitution and that the call in procedure should not apply to the action being taken.

RESOLVED:

That the terms of employment as described in the appendices to the interleaved report be implemented and that the compensatory payments detailed be made as a part of individually binding agreement with the staff as required.
