Meeting: 21/01/2020 - General Purposes Committee (Item 130)
To receive advice from the Local Government Association on governance processes for staffing matters
Minutes:
The General Purposes Committee received the report from the Local Government Association on governance processes for staffing matters.
Points raised from the discussion were as follows:
· The purpose of the report was not to ascribe blame but identified a lack of process around grievances.
· Members were advised that it is not possible for Council to appoint a “Super Chief Executive”.
· Members were reminded that this is separate from the disciplinary procedure- as this report only related to grievances.
The Chairman proposed and Councillor Saunders seconded:
That EKHR be instructed to look at best practice through a benchmarking exercise and formulate a draft grievance policy based on the JNC model.
Upon being put to the vote, the motion was declared CARRIED.
