Chief Officer and Heads of Service Salary Reviews
North West Employers can offer three different approaches to the review of salaries of Chief Officers and Heads of Service.
Option One
An analysis of current salaries against salary data collected regionally and nationally. This process will involve comparison with:
- Local authorities of similar size.
- Local authorities within the same audit family.
- Local authorities within the same market area.
- Attend any meetings with Elected Members where report is considered
This approach simply market-tests current salaries, but takes no account of job size, responsibilities and accountabilities.
Option Two
This approach involves:
- Interviews with all relevant Officers to clarify existing duties, roles and responsibilities.
- Drafting new agreed role descriptions that indicate key accountabilities, and principle role.
- Analysis of job size and production of a rank order.
- Construction of salary structure using job size and pay data.
- Production of draft report.
- Produce final report for submission to Members.
- Attend any meetings with Elected Members where report is considered.
Option Three
This approach will involve:
- Collection of existing job descriptions.
- 'Desk-top' evaluation of existing job descriptions to produce rank order.
- Construct salary structure.
- Produce draft report for discussion.
- Produce final report and attend meetings as required.
