Report to follow.

The Committee considered a report proposing a 2% pay award for all staff for 2020/21. During the pay negotiation process it had also been agreed that the Flexi-time Policy would be reviewed.

Consultation on the proposed award had taken place with Staff Representatives. The Joint Staff Consultative Group, at its meeting on 16 January 2020, had recommended the 2% award to the Committee and Full Council for approval.

The proposed award had been based on the Council’s financial position, benchmarking with other Surrey borough and districts’ settlements, recruitment issues faced by the Council, the proposed national agreement, and the national economic climate.

RECOMMENDED to Full Council that a Pay Award of 2% for all staff be agreed for 2020/21.

RESOLVED that the addition of the Flexi Time Policy to the Joint Staff Consultative Groups work programme be noted.
