Received a report introducing the following Human Resources policies and procedures which have been reviewed and updated to bring them in line with recent employment legislation and best practice.
Agreed, in order to ensure up-to-date and consistent procedures are operational across the Council and to support the People Matter element of the Council’s Balanced Scorecard, to:
a) Raise the Bicycle Allowance to £200 per annum (£3.84 per week) with effect from 1 July 2003, for staff who are required to use their bicycle on official business;
b) Apply to become a Corporate Affiliate of the London Cycling Campaign (LCC). The fee for a non-commercial organisation is £1200 + VAT per annum;
c) Offer interest free loans of up to £500 repayable over 3 years to staff to cover the cost of their bicycle and any safety equipment, (instead of claiming casual, essential or pool user allowances);
d) The Bicycle Allowance to be reviewed on an annual basis at the same time as car user allowances; and
Further reports will be brought to the Executive as work is completed on other Human Resources policies and procedures.
