Local Authorities are already required to publish, under the Accounts and Audit Regulations 2015 (Statutory Instrument 2015/234):
- The number of employees whose remuneration in that year was at least £50,000 in brackets of £5,000
- Details of remuneration and job title of certain senior employees whose salary is at least £50,000, and
- Employees whose salaries are £150,000 or more must also be identified by name.
In addition to this requirement, local authorities must place a link on their website to these published data sets or place the data itself on their website, together with a list of responsibilities (for example, the services and functions they are responsible for, budget held and number of staff) and details of bonuses and ‘benefits-in-kind’, for all employees whose salary exceeds £50,000.
Currently, Camborne Town Council Council has three posts where remuneration is £50,000 or greater – the post of Town Clerk, Deputy Town Clerk, Head of Finance (RFO). The salary for the Town Clerk is within the LC4 Upper Benchmarking Range (Spinal Column Points 48 to 52). The salary for the Deputy Town Clerk (Spinal Column Points 45-49) and Head of Finance (RFO) (Spinal Column Points 42-45) are with the LC3 Above Substantive Benchmarking Range as recommended by the National Association of Local Councils and the Society of Local Council Clerks and are based upon size of population, budget and level of services of the Council.
