We're currently experiencing technical issues with our telephone system and are working with our supplier to resolve them as quickly as possible.
You may experience connectivity issues and longer wait times as a result.
We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding while we restore normal service.
We publish information that:
- cover all elements of remuneration that can be valued (eg. all taxable earnings for the given year, including base salary, variable pay, bonuses, allowances and the cash value of any benefits-in-kind
- use the median earnings figure as the denominator, which should be that of all employees of the local authority on a fixed date each year, coinciding with reporting at the end of the financial year
- exclude changes in pension benefits, which due to their variety and complexity cannot be accurately included in a pay multiple disclosure
The statement outlines our policies about a range of issues relating to staff pay, particularly our senior staff or chief officers and our lowest paid employees.
