RESOLVED:
1. 
To agree
that officers will follow up the recommendations set out in
paragraph 8.2 (below) of the submitted report with Hackney
Council’s HR team to ensure that these are in place for the
Fund’s largest employer.
 
Paragraph 8.2.
The report recommends some actions that
could be taken at local level, albeit employer driven. These
include:
? Reviewing job profiles and pay scales
to ensure there is genuine equality across the full spectrum (this
would also help address the gender pay gap)
? Checking to see that back-to-work
policies, including flexible working, fully support and encourage
people who have taken career breaks back into the
workplace
? Enhancing shared parental leave
policies
? Educating employees about implications
for their pension any time there is a life point change that may
have financial consequences (e.g. reducing hours, getting divorced,
promotion etc). Employees can then make
informed choices about whether to top up their pension or
not.
? Letting new joiners and part-time
workers know that they can opt in to the pension scheme, even if
they do not meet the qualifying criteria
