Issue - meetings

This report is being brought to People, Performance and Development Committee because the Committee will determine the pay progression arrangements for centrally employed teachers for 2018/2019 in accordance with the Section 2, para 6.13 of the Scheme of Delegation.

Declarations of interest:

None

Witnesses:

Paul Smith, Interim HR Consultant

Key points raised during the discussion:

1.     Clarification was sought on whether the same arrangement would apply to academies.  Officers reported that if a school was made an academy before 2011 they would be bound by the pay arrangements and if made an academy after that date they could set their own arrangements.  However, it had been customary for academies to adopt the regulated pay arrangements.

2.     Concern was expressed by some Members on the costs and the increase in costs.

Actions/ further information to be provided:

None.

RESOLVED:

That the following pay progression increases for centrally employed teachers to take effect from 1 September 2018 be agreed:

·        a 1% pay increase, subject to a successful appraisal rating or

·        a 2% pay increase, subject to an exceptional appraisal rating; and, additionally;

·        a 1% increase to the pay range in line with the nationally agreed pay increases.
