The Committee considered a report on proposed remuneration for the Interim Deputy Chief Executive. It was advised that the report should have recommended a period of remuneration between 9 October and 31 March 2020, in line with the duration of the appointment made by the Council at its meeting on 9 October 2019.

Members were informed that, as the role of Deputy Chief Executive was not part of the Council’s structure, the proposed figure of £95,000 (pro-rata) had been recommended based on benchmarking with other Surrey and neighbouring authorities, taking into account the size of the authority. It was agreed that, in future, when considering such items the relevant benchmarking information would be annexed to the report.

It was clarified that the proposed remuneration would not be in addition to Mr Pashen’s existing salary as an Executive Head of Service and, if agreed, would reflect the differential between his existing salary and the proposed salary.

RESOLVED that Mr Tim Pashen be remunerated in the role of Interim Deputy Chief Executive from 9th October to 31st March 2020 at £95,000 pa (pro rata).
