New Appointments
Service directors and executive directors (or equivalent) may appoint within the pay range for the grade. When appointing above the bottom grade, they should first seek advice from the chief people officer. The grade should be based on the following principles:
- applicant’s knowledge, competence, skills, experience
- applicant’s current salary
- pay of existing employees within the service area
We regard any new appointments between 1 April and 30 September as in year one of their incremental credit. Anyone appointed between 1 October and 31 March will not start to accrue their first year of incremental credit until the following 1 April.
All senior leaders
Pay transition arrangements are in place from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2026. These arrangements will take precedence during this period for existing employees.
Pay increments will be awarded every two years on 1 April. Increments are subject to satisfactory performance in accordance with our performance and development appraisal policy.
Pay increments in each grade (except for the bottom point) are non-consolidated. If performance is unsatisfactory, service directors and executive directors can impose these measures:
|
Issue
|
Measure
|
|---|---|
|
Failure to meet four months’ probationary period but extended up to twelve months
|
Anyone on point two or above - move to the bottom pay point for the grade
|
|
Failure to meet most objectives agreed upon at appraisal
|
Repeat an incremental year (therefore three years to reach next level). If the employee is at the top of the scale -a move down one pay point is permissable
|
|
Informal action – such as a reprimand
|
Move down one pay point
|
|
Formal action (lowest level)
|
Move down up to two pay points
|
|
Formal action (highest level short of dismissal)
|
Move down up to three pay points or to bottom pay point
|
Senior leaders can appeal decisions by referring to:
- executive director (head of service) or
- chief executive (service director or equivalent)
All pay increments are subject to normal pension deductions. The local government pension scheme website has information on:
- the local government pension scheme contribution bands
- tax implications relating to the pension lifetime allowance
All other terms and conditions are detailed in our local scheme of conditions of service.
