Report ES13107

The Committee considered a report proposing the outsourcing of the Site Supervisor function at the Council’s Household Waste Recycling Centres at Waldo Road and Churchfields Road. It was proposed that Veolia, the Council’s Waste Management contractor, would take over responsibility for providing this service and two staff would transfer to them under TUPE arrangements. The report outlined the contract variation required, the savings that would accrue to the Council and details of the staff consultation on the proposals.

Following questions from Councillor Grainger, it was confirmed that if in future the current post-holders left and new supervisors were employed they would not have any right to join the Council’s pension scheme. Indeed the two post-holders due to transfer would move to an alternative final salary pension scheme provided by Veolia. 

RESOLVED that the Portfolio Holder be recommended to agree the proposed contract variation to facilitate the transfer of staff from the Council to Veolia.
