3/1610. TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE COUNCIL EMPLOYEES JOB DESCRIPTIONS

The job descriptions were discussed with both employees with the understanding there would be a consultation period. The job descriptions were sent to Chris Moses (HR services) for his advice. Unfortunately, the response was very brief and unhelpful.

RECOMMEND: The council enter into a consultation period with its employees and seek some advice on the length of the consultation from Chris Moses. The Clerk will also contact the council’s insurance company to see what HR services are covered by them.
