Report CSD23012

The following amendment was moved by Councillor Josh King and seconded by Councillor Rebecca Wiffen -

“Add the following words to the end of the recommendation:

‘subject to the following change.

Section 5 

5.4 London Living Wage

The Council believes all staff should be paid a real Living Wage, to guarantee that all of our staff, as a minimum, earn enough to reflect the current cost of living and what a household needs to get by, rather than be paid in reference to a percentage of median earnings. 

The Council therefore ensures that no member of staff is paid less than the hourly London Living Wage rate- calculated independently by the Living Wage Foundation. For 2023/2024 this hourly rate is £11.95.”

On being put to the vote the amendment was LOST.

A motion to approve the 2023/24 Pay Policy Statement as recommended was moved by Councillor Christopher Marlow, seconded by Councillor Pauline Tunnicliffe and CARRIED.
