To consider the recommendations of the Cabinet and a report on the Annual Pay Policy Statement and Review of Pensions Discretions.

The Council considered the Cabinet’s recommendations on the Council’s Annual Pay Policy Statement, as required under Section 38(1) of the Localism Act 2011 (as set out in the submitted report).  It was noted that the Pay Policy Statement drew together the Council’s overarching policies on pay and conditions which would be published on the Council’s website.  The report also set out the annual review of pensions discretions as required by the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations.

Councillor Jacqueline Thomas proposed and Councillor Strang seconded a motion, which was agreed by the Council as set out below:

            that Council be recommended:

1.         the Torbay Council Annual Pay Policy Statement 2024/25 as set out in Appendix 1 to these minutes be approved for publication;

2.         the Employers Pensions Discretions set out in Appendix 2 to the submitted report be approved for publication.
