Under Chapter 8 of the Localism Act 2011 Local Authorities in England and Wales were required to produce a pay policy statement for 2012/13 and for each financial year thereafter, and must do so with regard to any guidance from the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government.
Additional information is also reported in compliance with The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 (Policy Procedure paragraph 6).
In addition, this policy must be agreed and signed off by the Full Council and be publically available.
