The last Full Council on 29th March had a small agenda, but included the Pay Policy statement, which the localism act requires.  This highlights the number of people in managerial positions, what they are paid, and the ratio between the highest and lowest paid at the County.  You may find these facts interesting:

• ·         Salary structure for Directors is set locally through the staff appointments committee and ranges from £98,393 to £126,733.
• ·         Salary for Assistant Directors (higher) is £85,795 – £96,824
• ·         Salary for Assistant Directors are £68,096 – £83,829
• ·         Salary for senior manager is £55,287 – £64,399.
• ·         Currently the Chief Executive of S.C.C. earns eight times more than the Councils median earner, and thirteen times more than the lowest paid.

Are these figures reasonable?
