This department has no responsibility for setting nor for providing guidance on senior staff salary levels in local authorities. Local authorities are responsible for all pay and grading decisions, including those for senior officials.

The joint negotiating committees for chief executives and chief officers produce guidance on salary frameworks and conditions of service for local authority chief executives and chief officers. Details of how to obtain the relevant handbooks can be found on the local government employers website at www.lge.gov.uk/lge/core/page.do?pageId=l 22304.
