Pay Policy Statement

Cheshire Fire Authority has a requirement under the Localism Act 2011 to publish a pay policy statement on an annual basis. The statement sets out the Authority’s policies for the financial year relating to:

• The remuneration of its chief officers.

• The remuneration of its lowest paid employees.

• The relationship between the pay of chief officers and that of other employees.

The requirement was introduced in order to:

• Increase the accountability, transparency and fairness of the setting of local pay.

• To give local people access to information to allow them to determine whether pay is appropriate.

• To ensure the pay of senior staff is fair in the context of the pay of the rest of the workforce.
