Conditions of Service Committee. Should the Chief Executive determine that performance is unsatisfactory, pay will remain at the bottom point of the pay grade.
Payment at the top pay point of the grade to be determined annually by formal performance review conducted by the Chief Executive and following consultation with the Appointments and Conditions of Service Committee. Subject to satisfactory performance, payment of the top pay point will be made following two years' service in post and, again subject to satisfactory performance, annually thereafter. Should the Chief Executive determine that performance is unsatisfactory, pay will remain at, or be reduced to, the mid-point of the pay grade.

iii.to approve the creation of a 10% pay addition to be applied to one post of Corporate Director to reflect additional duties and responsibilities associated with the role of Deputy Chief Executive.

The creation of the role of Deputy will only take place if deemed necessary and appropriate by the Chief Executive.
iv.to approve the continued application of the current pay scale relating to the post of Chief Executive but recognising that future review of the scale may be appropriate in a more favourable economic climate.
