CHRISTMAS MARKET 2023 STALLHOLDER APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN
The Staffing Committee is comprised of up to any six members of the Parish Council and should include the Chairmen from the Finance and Policy Standing Committees. Where the nature of the discussion is deemed confidential under section 1(2) of the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960, the meeting will be closed to the public.
One meeting will be held every year to review all staff contracts, job descriptions and payscales. Otherwise, meetings will be convened as and when necessary, e.g. to deal with grievance or disciplinary matters; for staff recruitment; or to deal with other emerging personnel matters. The following is a brief resume of the Standing Committee’s areas of responsibility:
Appeals relating to disciplinary, grievance or pay decisions will be heard in line with the relevant procedures by three members of the Council, plus the Executive Clerk where appropriate, who have not been previously involved in the matter and which may include members of the Staffing Committee.
Due to the timings stipulated in the Council’s relevant employment policies the appeals panel will be organised directly between the Committee members.
As in line with Hartley Wintney Parish Council Financial Regulations, this Standing Committee shall have authority to spend items up to £5000, as identified via the Community Aspirations and Projects List. It is recommended that the Projects list is ratified at Full Council prior to submission of the following year’s budget.
Any items which exceed this amount or are in addition to the pre-approved Projects List, must be as a recommendation to the next Parish Council meeting.
