Local Agreement on Pay and Remuneration
The information contained in the presentation is exempt in that it falls within the following prescribed category:
4 Information relating to any consultations or negotiations, or contemplated consultations or negotiations, in connection with any labour relations matters arising between the authority or a Minister of the Crown and employees of, or officer-holders under the authority
It is considered that in this case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that such disclosure would distort the proper process of free negotiations between the authority with another party for the purposes described and would prejudice the position of the authority in those negotiations and other negotiations of a similar nature in future
To receive a presentation on the ending of the current time-limited local agreement on pay and remuneration at 31 March 2013; to consider proposals for the development of a new local agreement on pay and remuneration from 1 April 2013 and to make recommendation to Council on 11 December 2012.
