2. To discuss Clerk’s current grading and salary wrt:
i. Current grading against NALC scales etc.
After discussion staffing committee felt it appropriate to increase Clerks salary from 13.20 to 14.21 in line with SLCC / NALC guidelines from April 2023. An increase in scale point from 18 to 19 will be given next April (2024) in acknowledgement of the training completed.
The Clerk is also to be contacted with regards to their working hours as it is felt that the current 12 hours may not adequately cover the time needed to fulfil duties.

In line with the Terms of Reference it is agreed that there will be two formal meetings per annum. One in April post appraisals and to coincide with the potential appointment of a new chair. One in December prior to the precept being set so future salary salary increments can be considered. Actual dates will be agreed with Clerk and posted along with a standard agenda.
