Issue - meetings

Consideration was given to the report of the Director of Corporate Services seeking approval of the Retirement Policy and Procedure following recommendation by the Joint Staff Consultative Committee.

Members expressed support for the proposed changes and the need to recognise the work of staff and for them to feel valued.  A councillor emphasised the importance of still supporting staff after retirement as it could be quite a challenging experience.

The recommendations were proposed and seconded and on being put to the vote it was RESOLVED that: -

(a)    the recommendation from the Joint Staff Consultative Committee be accepted and the Policy be approved for immediate adoption; and

(b)    delegated authority be granted to Director of Corporate Services, in consultation with the Chairs of Joint Staff Consultative Committee and Corporate Policy and Resources Committee, to make any future minor housekeeping amendments to the Policy.
