The Chief Executive spoke to the report which had previously been circulated.
The Personnel and Training Manager clarified the process by which the salary bands for posts had been arrived at. He explained that there were three elements to be considered:
1.Structure - This defines how services are to be delivered.
2.Job Evaluation - this defines the order and size of jobs, and points are generated according to duties and responsibilities. These points equate to a pay grade.
3.The plussage - this is proposed as an additional pay element outside the grade of the post, and is designed to recognise the increased corporate contribution of those officers.

The chairman urged that the actions arising from issues raised by the Unions about the impact of the Pay Protection Policy be brought forward as a matter of priority.

Members considered a report of the Personnel and Training Manager, which had been previously circulated. The Chairman invited comments.
