Under section 159 of the Local Government Act 2001, each Chief Executive is responsible for the staffing and organisational arrangements necessary for carrying out the functions of the local authorities for which he or she is responsible. In this regard, following the sanction for staff by my Department, their recruitment and assignment is a matter for each individual Chief Executive.

Salary scales are set in accordance with central pay policy covering all Public Servants. The placing of an individual employee on the salary scale is a matter for the Chief Executive, based on the experience of the individual, but must be line with Government Pay Policy.
