Minutes:

The Cabinet Member for Finance, Growth and Core Services introduced a report on the Council’s Pay Policy Statement for 2023/24, which the Council was required to agree annually in accordance with the Localism Act 2011.

 

The Cabinet Member referred to the various elements that made up the Pay Policy Statement and he drew particular attention to the pay ratios which showed that Barking and Dagenham’s pay arrangements for its highest and lowest earners compared very favourably against the London average. He stressed, however, the importance of setting pay at adequate levels in order to retain and attract the most skilled and talented workforce that would deliver the best services for residents and pointed out that the Council’s Chief Officer pay structure had last been reviewed in 2013.

 

The Assembly resolved to approve the Pay Policy Statement for the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham for 2023/24 as set out at Appendix A to the report, for publication on the Council’s website with effect from April 2023.
