The Localism Act 2011 requires us to prepare and publish a pay policy statement. The reason is to share our policies relating to the pay of our workforce, particularly senior staff and our lowest paid employees. We also want to ensure we operate on the principles of equal pay for work of equal value, and within various other legislative requirements, including the Equality Act 2010.

This policy statement applies to the 2019/20 financial year and has been approved at a meeting of the full county council, which was open to the public and observers. It’ll be reviewed annually, taking the guidance on openness issued by the secretary of state for communities and local government into account.
