The Chief Executive introduced the report which followed on from a paper considered by Members of the Audit, Resources and Performance Committee on 22 July 2016.

 

The report informed Members of the result of the Leadership Team’s consultation with staff on proposals to amend the redeployment element of the Managing Change Policy and proposed amendments to the Statement of Particulars (Contract of Employment).

  1. That Members approve the Peak District National Park Authority opting to reach agreement with UNISON and Staff Committee on the Pay Protection Scheme and, if agreement cannot be reached by 1 November 2016 the options in the Part B report  be considered.
