Has an opportunity been missed to standardise rates for all jobs across the country?
A. As each authority is an autonomous body with different aims and objectives and different economic conditions, it would not be practicable to have a single set of pay scales for all employees in all authorities. However, teachers and firefighters and some other employees of the County Council are covered by specific national pay arrangements, and that is why those particular groups are not within the scope of the County Council’s Modern Reward Strategy.
