ap Iorwerth (Ynys Môn)
To
propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1.
Regrets the gap between the highest and the lowest paid workers in Welsh local
authorities and the wider public sector.
2.
Notes Plaid Cymru's success in forcing the Welsh Government to amend the Local
Democracy Act during the fourth Assembly to include measures that have improved
transparency in how senior officers pay is decided through the establishment of
independent remuneration panels.
3.
Calls on the Welsh Government to:
(a)
legislate to introduce nationally set pay scales and terms and conditions to
control senior and chief officer pay through a national framework which would
ensure fair pay for all public sector workers in Wales; and
(b)
define the role of local authorities chief executives in legislation which
would include abolishing additional payments to council officials for returning
officer duties.
