Injury awards policy

Review of arrangements

We will review annual allowances at least once a year. This may differ if we receive medical advice that less frequent or no further assessments are required. We will decide if there is a material change in the employee's earnings capacity. 

We will review annual allowances when the recipient reaches their normal retirement age and fixed as a lifetime benefit. This is as defined by the Local Government Pension Scheme, accounting for any pension entitlement. 

Funding 

We will meet the costs of lump-sum payments and annual allowances from director area budgets.
