Applications for Premature Retirement

The Remuneration Committee, as the Employing Authority, has delegated to this Sub-Committee the determination of benefits for individual applications for early retirement.

 

Reports PB8 (1-9) – (NB: the final application is only a possible at the time of Agenda despatch and will therefore be circulated to Members of the Panel as soon as it is available) set out nine applications for early retirement in total.

 

The public should be excluded during this item because its discussion in public would be likely to lead to the disclosure to members of the public present of information in the following prescribed categories:

1.            Information relating to any individual;

2.         Information which is likely to reveal the identity of an individual;

3.         Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)

 

and since it is considered that, in all the circumstances of the case, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information, in that such disclosure would infringe the rights of the individual to privacy contrary to the general law and the duty of the authority to respect human rights and to comply with that law and contrary to the authority’s duties as a fair employer.

 

The Sub-Committee is RECOMMENDED to note the cases for early retirement and to determine the individual benefits to be paid.
