Guidance on the Implications of Section 38 (1) of the Localism Act 2011
The LGA and ALACE, on behalf of the Joint National Council for Chief Executives, have produced guidance on the implications of Section 38 (1) of the Localism Act 2011 which requires English and Welsh local authorities to produce a pay policy statement on the remuneration for Chief Executives and other senior officers for 2012/13 and for each financial year thereafter. In addition there are also profound consequences for the approach taken to pay and rewards across the whole workforce. Support is available to local authorities from East Midlands Councils.
