Pay Policy Statement 2026-27

It will also cover adjustments to executive director salaries and those of the Fire and Rescue Service Management Team, reflecting national pay awards. The statement details the pay structure for senior managers, including the Chief Executive and Executive Directors, and outlines the pay and grading structure for other employees, which is anchored to the National Joint Council (NJC) for Local Government Services pay spine. The report is to be recommended to the Full Council for approval.
