1. Introduction

1.1 The purpose of this policy is to provide an open and transparent framework that ensures clarity,

fairness and consistency in the remuneration of our workforce and in doing so will also meet the requirements of Section 38 of The Localism Act 2011, which requires local authorities to publish a pay policy statement which has to be adopted by Full Council by 31 March each year. This policy sets out the council’s approach to the pay of its workforce for the financial year 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020. This policy will be published on the workforce information section of the council’s transparency pages on iwight.com and be available as a key document located from the council’s A to Z document library as well as being easily located by free search text from www.iwight.com or other web search engines.

2. Equal pay commitment

2.1 We are committed to the principle of equal pay for equal work for all our employees and seek to

eliminate any bias in our pay systems.

2.2 As an integral part of our published equality objectives we understand that equal pay between the nine protected characteristics (age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion and belief, sex, sexual orientation) is a legal right under the Equality Act 2010 and is one of the key indicators of our ability to demonstrate equality of opportunity to those in our employment.

2.3 It is in our interest as an employer to ensure that we have a fair and just pay system and one that our employees have confidence in the process of eliminating bias. We are committed to working in partnership with our recognised trade unions/employee representatives to take action to ensure that we provide equal pay. We are confident that this significantly contributes to the necessary trust, morale and engagement of a positive employment relationship.

2.4 We believe that in affording openness and transparency in our approach to pay and reward, we

are sending a positive message to both our employees and Island residents that we are operating on a basis that is fair and equitable as well as to help us control costs and improve efficiency.

2.5 Our objectives therefore are to:

• be open and transparent in our approach to pay and reward;

• eliminate any unfair, unjust or unlawful practices that impact on pay;

• take appropriate remedial action where required;

• develop and maintain pay and reward equity between staff groups;

• undertake an equal pay review in line with the Equality and Human Rights Commission

statutory code of practice every three years;

• work in partnership with recognised trade unions/employee representatives in determining

and monitoring pay policy decisions

2.6 In delivering the council’s vision and key priorities, together with our commitments to equal pay and a reputation as a good employer, we recognise the importance of administering pay in a way that:

• attracts, motivates and retains appropriately skilled, knowledgeable and talented people

needed to maintain and improve the council’s performance and meet future challenges;

Page 7: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

• is affordable and transparent;

• reflects the market for comparable jobs, within and outside of local government, with skills

and competencies required to meet agreed delivery and performance outcomes;

• delivers the required levels of competence within an overall workforce strategy within

approved budget parameters

3. Definitions

3.1 For the purpose of this policy, the following definitions apply:

• A chief officer refers to the statutory roles of head of paid service; director of children’s

services; director of public health; director of adult social services; chief fire officer;

section 151 officer and monitoring officer together with those officers designated as chief

executive, and heads of service together with any other designated post that requires

member appointment under the council’s constitutional arrangements.

• The term ‘lowest paid employees’ refers to those staff earning up to the full time

equivalent of £24,965 per annum, including any allowance or other payments made in

connection with their role. This is in line with the council’s current pay structure which

determines that a post is at junior officer level up to this salary point on the pay scale. The

actual lowest pay point on the pay scale, excluding apprenticeships is £15,418 as set out

in Appendix A. It is possible for a local authority to also apply the Living wage as set by

the Living Wage Foundation, at a local level, although this has not been adopted by the

Isle of Wight Council at present. The council does however pay all staff at or above the

National Living wage as set and reviewed annually by Central Government, except for

apprentices who are paid at the National Apprenticeship rate. This is currently being

reviewed by the Isle of Wight Council.

4. Pay framework 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered

either by local agreements (particularly the IWC Terms and Conditions 2012), local policies, or collective agreements negotiated by the National Joint Council (NJC) for Local Government Services. NJC conditions of service are published in what is commonly known as the “Green Book”. The Isle of Wight Council has a locally agreed pay framework, as set out in Appendix A.

4.2 The terms and conditions of employment for chief officers are determined either by local agreements (particularly the IWC Terms and Conditions 2012), local policies, or collective agreements negotiated by the Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC) for Chief Executives and Chief Officers of Local Authorities.

4.3 The above bodies provide an agreed national framework for pay and terms and conditions but which also contain a number of flexibilities for local modification to suit local service requirements. These are the result of negotiations between trade unions and local government employers.

4.4 The terms and conditions of employment for fire and rescue service personnel are determined nationally by the National Joint Council for Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services (commonly known as the “Grey” book). The pay and conditions of Fire Service Personnel are not included within this document.

4.5 The School Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document, issued by the Department for Education, contains the statutory requirements for teachers’ pay and conditions that maintained schools and local authorities in England and Wales must abide by. The pay and conditions of teachers are not included within this document.

5. Terms and conditions - all staff

5.1 The council operates under the national terms and conditions as set out by NJC and JNC in

respect of sick leave and sick pay; maternity leave and maternity pay scheme; shared parental leave and shared parental pay scheme; and paternity leave and Paternity Pay Scheme.

5.2 Core working hours

Annual working hours are 1,635 per annum, full time equivalent, agreed between the employee and their line manager. The timing of working hours depends upon role definition (set out in 5.3 below). Core hours are determined by managers according to the specific needs of the service and will cover a period of 14 hours between 6am and 10pm. Work carried out within core hours is paid at plain time rates unless specified otherwise.

5.3 Role definition

Roles within the council are categorised as either “flexible” or “constrained”.

• Flexible roles are not normally subject to particular operational times or to regular and frequent immediate reactive response to the service or customers within the community. There is occasional requirement to cover at times other than normal hours, but generally staff are able to choose their working patterns and the freedom to exercise that choice does not, in the main, impact adversely on service delivery to the community.

• Constrained roles are largely governed by particular working time or patterns because of the needs of the service or demands regular and frequent immediate reactive response to the community or customers’ needs. Staff generally do not have the freedom of choice in their working patterns and to have such would impact adversely on service delivery to the community.

5.4 Pay awards

Pay awards are considered annually for staff and are based on those determined by the national pay bargaining undertaken by the Local Government Employers. Negotiations for a pay award for the period 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2020 have been agreed nationally and equates to at a least 2% pay increase over each year of the two-year period . The final adjustments to the pay grades for 2019 are yet to be finalised and will be subject to local agreement being reached with the council’s recognised trade unions. This will not have been completed at the time of this policy approval by Full Council. It can however be confirmed that they will provide the nationally agreed pay increase to staff.

5.5 Appointment

Employees new to the council will normally be appointed to the first point within the salary range within the respective pay grade. Where a candidate’s current employment package would make the first point unattractive or where the employee already operates at a level commensurate with a higher salary, the recruiting manager has delegated authority to appoint at a higher point within the salary range. The candidate’s level of experience and skills must be consistent with those of other employees already employed in a similar role.

5.6 Recovery of Exit Payment on return to any public sector body

F - 12

Page 9: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

The anticipated legislation for the recovery of exit payments has been further delayed by central government and as such this remains an area for consideration of required policy and procedure once a new timetable for implementation is made available.

5.7 Relocation allowance

It is recognised that it may be necessary to compensate, at least in part, the financial costs incurred by a new employee in relocation to the Island or to a location within commutable distance where required (and the successful candidate’s existing residence is beyond 50 miles in distance from the Isle of Wight, or outside of a reasonable commuting time) in order to take up their duties. Granting a relocation allowance as part of the recruitment package requires approval as part of the council’s recruitment authorisation process. In determining the business case for the granting of a relocation allowance, consideration has to be given to whether:

• advertisement within a national/international market is required;

• there is a need to increase the potential of recruiting high calibre staff or within

particularly hard to recruit occupations;

• it is a permanent post (although if deemed to be a key post on a fixed term contract of up

to two years, consideration will be given to 50 per cent of the agreed level of

reimbursement).

The current allowance payable is up to a maximum of £8,000. Full conditions of operation are set out in the council’s Relocation Scheme.

Under the council’s Relocation Scheme the council also offers new recruits an allowance to cover some of the costs associated with travelling in order to attract potential candidates within commuting distance but who would not wish to relocate to the Island in the current economic climate.

5.8 Market supplements

There are some occupations which are notoriously difficult to recruit and retain within the public sector. Where there is significant evidence pointing to salary levels which are out of line with the market rate for particular skills or recruitment, the payment of a market supplement may be an appropriate solution. Annual review and analysis of available evidence of whether there have been any changes in the job market will inform whether market supplements will continue to be paid. Full conditions of operation are set out in the council’s Market Supplement Policy. Currently, a market supplement is paid to social workers working in childcare, and some leisure staff.

5.9 Additional duties

There may be occasions when an employee is required to undertake the duties of a higher graded post for a continuous period of up to 12 months. In such circumstances, the employee will receive the salary that would apply as if they were promoted to that post. These must be for genuine reasons other than annual leave or the short-term sickness absence of another officer.

In the review undertaken by managers when a post becomes vacant, there may be circumstances when a manager determines not to recruit, but to assign a proportion of the full duties and responsibilities to another employee. Where such a situation arises, payment of a responsibility allowance can be made upon submission of a business case. The rate of allowance payable is dependent upon the percentage of additional duties required up to a maximum of a 12 month period, unless there are exceptional circumstances for this to be extended. There are three levels of payment 2.5 per cent, 5 per cent and 7.5 per cent of the difference between the substantive and higher graded post for the period during which the additional duties/responsibilities are undertaken. Full conditions of operation are set out in the

F - 13

Page 10: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

council’s Acting Up and Secondment Policy. The council actively encourages the use of secondments both internally and externally within partner organisations.

5.10 Business travel

For genuine operational needs and where privately owned vehicles are used for business travel purposes, the council reimburses employees in line with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs approved level.

Where staff are required to carry substantial equipment on a frequent and regular basis, an additional 5p per mile is payable in recognition of the additional wear and tear in vehicle use.

Staff who undertake more than 8,500 business miles per annum are classed as essential users and receive an annual lump sum, in accordance with the NJC terms and conditions, payable in monthly instalments. This is in recognition of the additional wear and tear that high mileage incurs. This allowance is removed should any employee change job where business travel is not required or is likely to be below the threshold set out above. Current essential user allowances payable are paid at the rate of £963 per annum with a mileage rate of 40.9p per business mile up to 8,500 miles claimed and thereafter a rate of 14.4p per mile.

There is by local agreement with chief officers, no claiming of on Island business travel expenses.

5.11 Excess travel and mileage claims

Since 1 April 2012 no reimbursement or allowance has been payable to employees whose on Island work base location is changed by the council. Agile working will be rolled out across the Council from January 2019 and there will be clarity relating to mileage claims as part of that project. All staff have a designated base (agreed with their managers) where they start work and if they are not working there, they are expected to use a work base of the same or less distance from their home. Mileage claims to a work base will not be accepted if they are a greater distance from home than the normal agreed work base. The exceptions to this will be if it is being done in order to meet the needs of the service as expressly approved by the Manager or due to extenuating circumstances such as attending training, which again must be expressly approved by the manager.

5.12 Charging for car parking at work

Any member of staff who uses a car parking space during the working day which is within a designated area of the council’s parking order are required to either pay the daily parking charge or purchase a long stay staff parking permit. The cost of a staff parking permit is £150.00 per annum which allows parking in any council long stay car parks for the full duration of the working day (ie Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm) but only four hours maximum in the County Hall car parks. Employees who are paid at or below Grade 1 (i.e. £15,418 per annum), or who through their contractual hours either earned or would have expected to earn the equivalent or less during the previous tax year, may apply for a staff parking permit at the reduced rate of £100.00 per annum. Full conditions of operation are set out in the council’s Charging for Car Parking at Work Policy.

5.13 Professional fees

Since 1 August 2011, no reimbursement or payment of professional association membership fees has been made to employees other than those who are appointed into trainee positions and working towards a recognised professional qualification as a requirement of their employment, when payment will be made until they qualify, at which point they will become responsible for the payment of their own fees.

5.14 Re-engagement

F - 14

Page 11: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

Employees whose appointment is terminated on a voluntary redundancy basis, or who accept early retirement, will not normally be re-engaged by the council on a directly employed basis for a period of 6 months or a consultancy basis for a period of two years unless approved on an exceptional basis by the Director of Corporate Services. Managers are required to submit a business case if wanting to re-engage in these circumstances

. The general rules relating to re-engagement are as follows:

• Any return to the council’s employment must be via the normal process of competitive

selection.

• The return must not be to the same or a closely related post, as this would call into

question the original decision to declare the post redundant.

• The employee must not take up the post (if they are to be directly employed) any sooner

than four weeks after the effective date of redundancy or early retirement, or they will

forfeit the original redundancy payment and pension entitlement will be affected.

• Anyone who is re-employed will be treated as a new starter and any previous service with

the council or other related body will not count towards entitlements to notice periods, sick

leave, annual leave, or other benefits dependent upon continuous service.

5.15 Annual leave

Since 1 July 2017, all employees operating under the NJC/JNC for Local Government Services are entitled to 31 days or 229 hours per annum (pro-rata if part-time). The leave year operates from 1 January to 31 December.

5.16 Public and extra statutory holidays

All staff are entitled to eight days or 59 hours public holidays per annum (pro-rata if part- time) plus 31 days annual leave per annum (pro-rata if part- time).

5.17 Pension contributions

All employees whether designated as in permanent employment or on a fixed term contract (where the contract period is for three or more months) are automatically admitted to membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) although they have the right to opt out if they so wish.

Scheme regulations are made under the Superannuation Act 1972. Changes to the rules are discussed at national level by employee and employer representatives but can only be amended with the approval of Parliament. As scheme members, employees pay contributions and the council pays in the balance of the cost of providing accrued benefits after taking into account investment returns. Every three years, an independent actuary calculates how much the council should contribute to the scheme. The amount will vary, but the current level of contribution made by the council is 23.5% per cent.

In accordance with government guidance the employee contribution rate by pay band that applies for 2018/19 is as follows:

If your actual pensionable pay is: You pay a contribution rate of:

Up to £14,100 5.5%

£14,101 to £22,000 5.8%

£22,001 to £35,700 6.5%

£157,801 or more 12.5%

6. Benefits of employment

6.1 The council currently operates a salary sacrifice scheme for childcare vouchers, where

employees can make substantial savings to their childcare costs through the payroll in tax and national insurance payments. Employees who pay for Ofsted registered childcare can have payments made directly from their salary to their childcare provider, subject to a maximum amount per week/month. The scheme can be joined anytime of the year and covers children up to the age of 15 (16 if disabled). Savings are dependent on personal circumstances but can be as much as £890 a year. The government have introduced a new tax free childcare scheme, which restricted new members joining the salary sacrifice scheme from April 2018.

6.2 All staff have access to an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which is an impartial and completely confidential advice and counselling support service which is available 24/7 via a free phone number. Employees also have access to a website where they can seek information and advice on a wide range of topics including work-life, personal life and health and wellbeing. There will be a shared cost salary sacrifice AVC (additional voluntary contribution) scheme in place in 2019.

6.3 Other financial benefits include our list of local retailer discounts which contains over 100 Island

businesses that are prepared to offer discounts on their products and services to council employees and our list of miscellaneous discounts contains off-Island and web- based businesses which also provides discounts. In addition, there are several sites designed specifically for those who work in the public sector. They are free to access and enable employees to take advantage of special offers and discounts on a whole range of products and services offered by various well-known retailers and other companies.

6.4 As part of our wellbeing strategy, the council’s ‘One Card’ employee scheme offers access to

the council’s leisure and fitness facilities at Medina Leisure Centre, the Heights leisure centre and Westridge tone zone and squash courts at a reduced rate. Discounts are available off the published price of a ‘One Card’, and there is a choice of two card options and several different payment methods. The council also has access to the Civil Service Sports Council (CSSC), a not for profit organisation that offers a low rate membership option to a wide range of sport and leisure activities. There are also a range of discounts on public transport. This includes reduction on ticket prices for ferry services to and from the Island with the three operators - Hovertravel, Red Funnel and Wightlink, and a discount on certain Southern Vectis tickets for Island bus travel

6.5 We recognise the importance of investing in the learning and development needs of employees

to enable the skills, competencies and behaviours required of staff in their work duties to be carried out effectively and efficiently, to remain safe within their workplace and which enable career development. We also give due consideration to any requests that are made by staff

F - 16

Page 13: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

under the Right to Time off for Training legislation. The council also operates a personal development review process (PDR) which is undertaken on an annual basis with a mid-year review to monitor work performance, establish new work priorities and timescales and the identification of learning needs. Within available resources and according to priority needs, learning and development opportunities may take the form (but not exclusively) of course attendance, distance learning, directed research, e-learning, work shadowing, coaching and/or mentoring. All new staff are required to complete an e- learning induction module and attend the corporate induction programme. Some learning and development activities are mandatory to meet expected personal responsibilities in areas such as health and safety, equality and diversity and safeguarding. The council also has a functional skills programme which staff can access to support the improvement of numeracy and literacy skills.

6.6 Since 1 April 2012 the council no longer operates a monetary reward scheme for loyalty to local government services. In its place, a celebratory event will continue to be undertaken on an annual basis which formally recognises the significant and/or outstanding contributions that individual or groups of staff make to the community.

7. Official election duties and fees

7.1 Official duties for the purposes of Parliamentary and European elections and national

referendums are statutory functions that are separate to any other local government statutory role (such as the section 151, head of paid service or monitoring officer) or any other functional requirements of a local government officer. Fees payable to those who carry out official election duties are set by statute and are reclaimable from central government.

7.2 Official duties for the purposes of local elections are also statutory functions, as set out above,

and fees payable to those who carry out official election duties are set by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight election fees working party. The full arrangements and current fee structure is set out in a Hampshire and Isle of Wight elections fee structure.

7.3 In the case of the Isle of Wight Council, returning officer duties are currently undertaken by the

Director of Corporate Services who will appoint a number of deputy returning officers.

8. Pay arrangements up to chief executive level

8.1 Pay structure

A new pay structure was introduced on 1st July 2015 following the conclusion of the job evaluation project. Within the overall pay scale there are 20 grades as set out in Appendix A. The grade for each role is determined by a job evaluation process according to the knowledge, skills, effort, responsibilities and demands required of the role. All posts including chief officers are included on the 20 new pay grades, excluding the chief executive. A comparison of the number of permanent full time equivalent posts by salary grade is set out in Appendix F.

8.2 Pay progression

Currently, annual automatic pay progression is in operation between pay points within a pay banding up to the maximum point. Increases are made on 1 April each year. Officers with less than six months’ service in the grade by 1 April are granted their first increment six months after their appointment. This has been reviewed as a part of the council’s current pay structure and job evaluation scheme review.

8.3 Pay protection

Where, as a result of job evaluation or redeployment there is a reduction in pay, staff will receive salary protection which will be at least limited to a period equivalent to the period of

notice to which they would be entitled under their contract of employment. This will only be applicable in circumstances where the employee has compulsorily had a reduction in pay due to restructure or redeployment and will apply to reductions in contractual pay and allowances.

8.4 Premium payments

The council has undertaken an extensive review of all terms and conditions of employees which saw the rationalisation of allowances and premium rates paid to employees whose roles necessitate out-of-hours working. These arrangements are determined under local bargaining arrangements with recognised trade unions.

Since 1 April 2012, posts designated as constrained (as set out in section 5.3) have attracted the following allowances and are payable to eligible employees up to salary grade 10, point E (£31,609). However in exceptional circumstances such as the Isle of Wight Festival, plain time rate pay for additional time will be paid in additional to the contracted hours, if there is a valid authorised business case confirming the circumstances and the reasons why staff are unable to take time off in the normal way.

work more than 37 hours per week or

(b) Voluntary overtime worked in a

constrained post cannot be reasonably

taken as time off in lieu.

Night Duty Plain time plus one third Applies to hours worked outside of the

service’s designated core hours.

This rate will also apply where shift patterns

fall outside the service’s designated core

hours (see shift allowance below).

Responsibility Allowance

No automatic entitlement Responsibility allowances will apply only

where a cost-effective business case is

made to and approved by the authorisation

panel. “Acting up” arrangements will be

development opportunities and will be time

limited.

Shift Allowance 10% of plain time rate

will apply to all hours of

working shift patterns

whose start / finishing

times commence / end

beyond the designated

core hours for the service.

Shifts are defined as regular patterns of work

carried out at different times either on a daily

or weekly basis.

All hours of a particular shift where the start

/ finishing times commences / end beyond

core hours for the service.

Plain time rates only apply to shifts whose start and finish times fall within designated core hours for the service.

Additionally, where the hours of a shift fall

outside the core hours for the service, the

night work rate of a one third enhancement

Weekend Work Plain time rates This rate applies to all hours worked within

the service’s designated core hours.

Standby Allowance

Where staff are required to undertake standby duty, a standby session is paid as a single payment which equates to the hourly rate of Grade 10 (point C).

A standby session is 24 hours 00:00 hours to

23:59 hours or part thereof but must exceed

four hours duration.

Where the needs of the service demand, all

posts eligible will participate on standby.

Only payable where the standby is additional to contractual hours per week.

Call-Out Plain Time Rate All posts may be reasonably required to be

called out at times other than normal working

patterns. Where an employee is paid a higher

substantive grade than that of the role being

covered on call-out, they will be paid at the

maximum of the grade for the role being

performed on call-out. All hours of call-out

work will be paid at plain time rate.

Staff graded higher than Grade 10 , who are

required to be called out, will be paid at their

actual rate of pay for time called out.

Public / Bank Holiday Working

Christmas Day (25.12)

Work on alternative public holidays when

Christmas Day or Boxing Day fall on a

Saturday or Sunday and work on all other

public holidays will be paid either at normal

9. Pay arrangements - chief officers

9.1 Pay structure Our structure for chief officers is included within the 20 pay grades under the job evaluation pay framework, excluding the chief executive whose salary is a spot salary that has been evaluated through market testing.

F - 19

Page 16: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

The scope of each chief officer’s job responsibilities are set out in the council’s constitution which is published on the council’s website and can be found by using the following link:

https://www.iow.gov.uk/Council/how-it-works/Democratic-Services/Constitution1

Generic role profiles have been established for the appointment and performance management of chief officers, which set out the generic requirements to fulfil the duties expected at this level. These can be found at Appendix B and C, and senior management level at Appendix D and E for information.

The Openness and Accountability in Local Pay Guidance under Section 40 of the Localism Act sets out the requirement for Full Council to be given the opportunity to vote before large salary packages are offered in respect of a new appointment. The secretary of state considers that £100,000 is the threshold for this to be undertaken. The pay-scale for chief officer posts is incorporated into the new pay framework following the job evaluation exercise, as set out as Appendix A and the remuneration for the chief executive has been set by Full Council as being up to a maximum ceiling of £150,000 per annum. Approval by Full Council to this policy document is therefore considered to meet the requirements of the guidance. Should any variation to the pay-scale for chief officers be proposed in any future appointment, this will be a matter for the Appointments Panel to recommend to Full Council during the authorisation process to recruit to a vacant post.

9.2 Pay progression There is no automatic pay progression for the chief executive as it is a spot salary, although salary will be increased based on national negotiations for annual cost of living pay awards in line with the Joint Negotiating Committee for Chief Officers.

The establishment of annual performance targets for chief officers is a matter for determination by the chief executive and where appropriate in consultation with the lead Cabinet portfolio holder(s).

The establishment of annual performance targets for the chief executive is a matter for determination by the leader of the council in consultation with relevant Cabinet portfolio holder(s), other group leaders and subject to any other constitutional arrangements for their approval and review.

9.3 Emergency response Chief officers and strategic managers are required to participate in the council’s emergency duty scheme. No additional payment is made for such duty.

9.4 Pay ratio The proposition by the Prime Minister and Chancellor in commissioning the public sector pay review in 2010 was that there should be no more than a 20:1 pay multiple to demonstrate fairness in pay.

The pay differential between the highest paid and the lowest within the Isle of Wight Council (using the full time equivalent (fte) base salary as the indicator of measure), and excluding schools, fire service personnel, trainees and apprentices the following can be identified:

In April 2018:

• the highest salary is £129,763 and the lowest salary is £16,773;

F - 20

Page 17: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

• the median salary is £20,550;

• the mean salary is £25151

Which represents:

• a ratio of 8:1 between the highest and lowest salary;

• a ratio of 6:1 between the highest salary and the median salary;

• a ratio of 5:1 between the highest salary and the mean salary

Whilst it is not the intention to establish a target reduction in ratio, close monitoring/benchmarking will to be undertaken to allow ongoing monitoring of median/mean workforce earnings.

9.5 Gender pay gap From 2017, Gender Pay Gap Legislation requires any organisation that has 250 or more employees to publish a report showing how large the pay gap is between male and female employees. The pay gap is the difference between the average (mean or median) earnings of men and women, expressed as the percentage of women’s earnings compared to men’s earnings.

The report must be published by the 30th of March each year for the public sector and the information must be displayed on the employers’ own website and a designated Government website.

Employers are required to calculate the following information:

• Their mean gender pay gap (the difference between the mean hourly rate of pay of male full-pay relevant employees and that of female full-pay employees)

• Their median gender pay gap (The difference between the median hourly rate of pay of male full-pay relevant employees and that of female full-pay employees)

• Their mean bonus* gender pay gap (The difference between the mean bonus pay paid to male relevant employees and that paid to female relevant employees)

• Their median bonus* gender pay gap (The difference between the median bonus pay paid to male relevant employees and that paid to female relevant employees)

• Their proportion of males and females receiving a bonus payment (The proportions of male and female relevant employees who were paid bonus pay during the relevant period)

• Their proportion of males and females in each quartile* pay band (The proportions male and female full-pay relevant employees in the lower, lower middle, upper middle and upper quartile pay bands).

*Bonus means any remuneration that is in the form of money, vouchers, securities, securities options or interests in securities and relates to profit sharing, productivity, performance, incentive or commission.

*A quartile is one of the three points that divide the population of data into four equal parts. In the context of gender pay gap reporting, the four quartile pay bands are created by dividing the total number of full-pay relevant employees into four equal parts.

This was completed by the Isle of Wight Council and the report was based on those who were employed on the 31st of March 2017. The pay period used for the calculation of pay was the month of March 2017 as employees are paid monthly. The bonus period covers the period 1st of April 2016 to the 31st of March 2017.

For the purposes of gender pay reporting, the definition of an employee is that which is given in the Equality Act 2010. This is known as an ‘extended’ definition which includes:

• Employees (those with a contract of employment)

• Workers (those with a contract to do work or provide services for the organisation)

• Some self-employed people (where they have to personally carry out the work they do for

the organisation)

The gender pay gap calculation is based on the number of individual employees and not the full-time equivalent. This means that each part-time employee counts as one employee.

Apprentices, seasonal, temporary or casual employees are included if they fall within the reference period set out above.

Quartile Female Male

Lower quartile 70% 30%

Lower middle quartile 72% 28%

Upper Middle quartile 56% 44%

Top quartile 59% 41%

The results of the gender pay gap analysis for 2017 show a 9.6% mean pay gap between men and women and a 14.9% median pay gap. The distribution of the total number of females is higher in the lower quartiles (55%) than males (41%) meaning a higher proportion of men are in receipt of a higher salary than females. The results show that 79% of part time roles are occupied by females, when compared to the proportion of the workforce that are female (64%), thus indicating that they are over represented in this group. In comparison, 57% of full time roles are occupied by females and so they are underrepresented. The reason that this will have a significant effect on the gap is that 79% of part time workers are occupying roles that are graded at below an annual salary level of

F - 23

Page 20: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

£22.5000 and 60% of full time workers occupy roles that are graded at a level above £22.500 per annum. One explanation for this might be that part-time roles often afford greatest flexibility for those with caring responsibilities, who generally are more likely to be female. The council therefore is confident that its gender pay gap does not stem from paying male and female employees differently for the same or equivalent work. Rather its gender pay gap is the result of the roles in which male and females work within the council and the salaries that these roles attract. One factor which will affect the median is that 78% of first year apprentices within the council are female, and apprentices attract a much lower pay rate in their first year only rising with minimum wage for their final year. This will need to be examined in more detail to understand the underlying causes however one possible factor may be due to the types of apprenticeship roles that we offer may be more appealing to women. Based upon the council’s current pay framework, 61% of those in senior roles on full time equivalent (FTE) salaries of over £40,000 are female, and 53% of those on FTE salaries of over £47,000 are female. Of the top 5% per cent of earners (based on hourly rate) 59% are female. This suggests that in the council females are encouraged and enabled to reach the most senior council job roles.

In response to the identified potential issues set out above in respect of the identified pay gap, the council proposes to continue with its analysis in order fully understand and explore options to address any actual imbalances that are apparent. However, over the next 12 months specific action will include:

• Through the improvements being made to the council’s ICT infrastructure to enable

greater agility and mobility in working methods, promote the opportunities for flexible

working to existing employees and managers and as a benefit open to prospective

employees.

• Active promotion and specific targeting of its recruitment campaign activity to encourage

males into apprenticeships with the council.

• Provide advice and guidance to managers that will enable them to consider more

creative flexible working options when recruiting to roles, especially those which are

higher graded roles that have been traditionally been determined as necessary to be full

time.

10. Discretionary provisions

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Regulations require the council to publicise a statement on the way certain discretions available under the pension scheme will be applied. This is a management policy, not an employee right and confers no contractual rights. However, the statement does not commit the council to a scheme of automatic exercise of the discretions and any such variation must be considered on its own merit and undertaken within the required corporate governance arrangements. This places a duty upon the council to provide appropriate, documented evidence to justify a variation being made and that the necessary authorisation has been secured. In all such cases, for the decisions to be lawful, there must be a clearly documented rationale agreed by key elected members for a departure from the policy.

Only the policy which is current at the time a relevant event occurs to an employee will be the one that applies.

F - 24

Page 21: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

This statement is applicable to all employees with the exception of those employed in maintained schools who, as LGPS employers in their own right are required to have their own policy on the application of discretions.

10.1 As an employing authority, the Isle of Wight Council’s policy as regards available

discretions is as follows:

10.1.1 Voluntary redundancy/early retirement from age 55, including the impact of the ’85 year

rule’ The Isle of Wight Council’s current policy is to not “switch on the 85 year rule” where an early retirement application is made between the ages of 55 and 59. This would result in an actuarial reduction to any pension benefits taken by a member aged 55 to 59, regardless of whether the 85 year rule is satisfied. The only exceptions to this rule are redundancy, ill-health and flexible retirements, whereby the 85 year rule, in accordance with pension regulations, is not discretionary and therefore must be honoured in all of these situations.

Early retirement with employer’s consent can be applied for between the ages of 60 and Normal Retirement or State Pension Age, whichever is earlier, providing the 85 year rule is not satisfied. Requesting this type of retirement would allow an employee to retire at 60 without actuarial reductions applied to their benefits.

Voluntary and compulsory redundancy has the same effect on pension benefits, whereby no actuarial reduction will be applied to benefits if the redundancy occurs after the pension member’s 55th birthday.

The council may not afford employer consent to early retirement or voluntary redundancy, if by leaving local government employment, the resultant loss of skills, knowledge and experience will have a detrimental effect on the service provided by the council. The chief financial officer and head of resources must be satisfied that appropriate savings to meet the capitalised costs associated with release of pension (and payable to the pension fund) can be secured before approval is given. Applications for voluntary redundancy and early retirement with employer’s consent must be made in-line with the Isle of Wight Council’s policy.

10.1.2 Augmentation of benefits – leavers who have attained age 55 (ie a discretion that allows

the employer to purchase extra pension benefits for a pension scheme member) Our current policy is that we will not grant any additional benefits or pension under this delegation.

10.1.3 Augmentation of benefits – new employees Our current policy is that we will not grant any additional benefits under this delegation upon entry to Isle of Wight Council employment.

10.1.4 Transfer values – acceptance of inward transfers When a transfer of pension rights from the private or public sector is permissible, we will only accept such a transfer when the request for us to look into it was made within the first 12 months of employment. Requests received after the first 12 months will be refused. We also refuse to accept transfers (other than from within the Local Government Pension Scheme and the Public Sector Transfer Club), that would result in a membership credit in excess of 40 years. When assessing this 40 year limit we take into account all non LGPS and non-club transfers.

10.1.5 Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) and/or Shared Cost Additional

Pension Contributions (ie a discretion that allows the employer to pay a percentage of any

additional voluntary contributions an employee makes to their pension)

F - 25

Page 22: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

Our current policy is that we will not grant any additional benefits under this delegation by way of additional contributions on behalf of an employee. This decision does not preclude any employee from effecting an AVC in their own right. However, the council will be introducing the AVC salary sacrifice scheme during 2018 for LGPS members, which through its operation affords National Insurance contribution and income tax savings for employees and National Insurance contribution savings for the council as the employer.

10.1.6 Redundancy payments It is our current policy that redundancy payments will be based on statutory redundancy calculations payable under the Employment Rights Act in terms of the calculation of the number of weeks to be paid based on age and length of continuous local government service. Our current policy is that we will not grant any additional benefits under this delegation for additional compensation under the Discretionary Payment Regulations to be applied. A week’s pay will be based on the lesser of:

• An employee’s actual contractual pay; or

• The statutory minimum.

Voluntary redundancy requests do not attract any enhanced compensation rates.

10.1.7 Flexible retirement In-line with Local Government Pension regulations the Isle of Wight Council currently offers flexible retirement to members over the age of 55 as an option to employees who wish to reduce their working hours or grade before retiring fully. Employer’s consent must be obtained for all flexible retirements and full retirement benefits will be paid with immediate effect, notwithstanding the fact that they have not retired from their employment. Flexible Retirement will cause the ongoing accrual pensionable benefits to cease on the date of the effect and therefore any additional service after the date of flexible retirement will not count towards satisfying the ‘85 year rule’.

For employees who satisfy the 85 year rule at the date of flexible retirement no actuarial reductions will be applied to the resultant pension benefits. The Isle of Wight Council is in no way obliged to grant flexible retirement to members who satisfy the 85 year rule and the same process for approval as voluntary redundancy and early retirement with employers consent will need to be followed. All applications for flexible retirement must be made in-line with the Isle of Wight Council’s Flexible Retirement policy.

The Council may not agree to flexible retirement if by reducing the weekly hours worked or grade, will have a detrimental effect on the service provided by the Council. Where a capitalised cost will be incurred because the applicant satisfies the 85 year rule, the Chief Financial Officer and Head of Resources must be satisfied that appropriate savings to meet the capitalised costs associated with release of pension (and payable to the Pension Fund) can be secured before approval is given. Flexible retirement will normally only be granted where there is no cost to the Local Authority or where due consideration has been given to the cost benefit of agreeing such an approach.

10.2 As an administering authority, the Isle of Wight Council’s policy as regards available

discretions is as follows:

10.2.1 Re-employed pensioners It is our current policy that the pension of those pensioner members who are re- employed within local government will not be abated. (Abatement is the reduction or suspension of a member’s

F - 26

Page 23: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

pension where a person in receipt of their pension becomes re-employed with an employer who offers the LGPS.)

10.2.2 Spouses pension payable for life It is our current policy that there will be continued payment for the whole life of a widows or widowers pension even where the recipient remarries, enters a civil partnership or cohabitates with another person.

10.2.3 Premature release Once a scheme member has attained the age of 55, they may request access to payment of their benefits on a reduced basis. This requires employer’s consent to be given. It is current policy that any such request would only be granted where there is no cost to the local authority due to the early release of benefits.

10.3 Injury Benefit Scheme Under the Local Government (Discretionary Provisions) (Injury Allowances) Regulations 2011, it is our current policy that we will not adopt a discretionary injury benefit scheme which makes provision for a person what has sustained an injury in the course of carrying out their work.

11. Severance arrangements

11.1 There may be exceptional circumstances that occur from time to time when the most

economically advantageous option for the council requires some form of compensation arrangement to be entered into or for a variation to be granted to the discretionary provisions set out above and where for example, a consensual arrangement is required in order to avoid delays, tribunal costs or detriment to key service priorities. In doing this, regard must be had to the losses suffered by the individual, future employment prospects and the overall impact on the council’s finances of both reaching and not reaching agreement.

11.2 The necessary procedures must be followed when such arrangements are proposed and/or in

circumstances where termination of employment involves any of the following:

• Early release of pension entitlement (other than on ill-health grounds) which requires

capitalised costs to be met.

• Payments in excess of the statutory redundancy payment.

• Any other enhancement that requires approval as set out in the Discretionary Provisions.

• A compensatory payment for loss of office that either relates to a chief officer and / or is

in excess of £50,000 for any other employee.

• Where a combination of the above for any one individual exceeds £50,000.

11.3 The government has drafted regulations limiting the amount a public sector worker could be paid for losing their job at £95,000. This threshold will apply to the total amount of pay received by an individual for loss of employment, including redundancy payments, voluntary exit payments and “any other payment” made as a consequence of, in relation to, or conditional upon loss of employment whether under a contract of employment or otherwise. This will also include any capital costs to the service for release of pension. The council will introduce procedures to ensure compliance with the legislation as soon as it is introduced.

11.4 Procedure to be followed: Whilst it is accepted that there must be public accountability for any severance package granted, it is considered that there is potential to breach employment obligations under a contract of employment by entering into debate about individual severance arrangements at Full Council,

Page 24: Isle of Wight Council PAY POLICY...2019/01/16  · 4.1 In the main, the pay and terms and conditions of Isle of Wight Council employment are covered either by local agreements (particularly

and it would not be in the best interests of efficiency or to allow timely conclusion to sensitive and/or complex matters that need to be resolved swiftly when required. The following procedural process therefore sets out the level of scrutiny that is to be undertaken in respect of any authorisation.

In all cases and irrespective of the sums involved, an “Authorisation for Early Release of Pension Benefits/Discretionary Payments” form must be completed then discussed with and authorised by the relevant head of service, head of resources and chief executive. The form must set out all the costs and savings associated with the proposal and must be certified by the section 151 officer or other authorised signatory.

The costs associated with reimbursing the Pension Fund for the capitalised costs of an early retirement must be met from the resultant savings. Where a settlement relates to a chief officer and/or where for another employee:

• the capitalised costs of reimbursing the pension fund exceed £50,000;

• a compensatory payment for loss of office exceeds £50,000;

• any other discretionary payment exceeds £50,000;

• a combination of the above exceeds £50,000

Then, the leader and Cabinet member for resources in consultation with the relevant Cabinet member must be informed in advance of any offer being made or approval being given. Where compensatory payments are proposed for loss of office, appropriate legal advice must be taken. This must be secured in writing and also attached to the authorisation form prior to approval. All relevant information utilised in the calculation of a proposed compensatory payment must be retained as evidence on file with the relevant authorisation form.

In any circumstances where pay in lieu of notice is to be considered it must be possible to evidence that one or all of the following criteria can be met:

• that circumstances dictate that it would be untenable or detrimental for the individual to

remain at work or to return to work and there is no gainful alternative work during a notice

period;

• occupational health/medical advice indicates that the individual is not fit for work during

the notice period.

Where the anticipated termination date is known and it is therefore possible to give due notice, this is not considered appropriate circumstances in which authorisation can be given for pay in lieu of notice.
