Basic Salary
- Basic Salary shall be paid to each elected Member of the Authority.
- In accordance with the Regulations, the rate of the Basic Salary shall be reviewed annually as determined by the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales.
- Where the term of office of a Member begins or ends other than at the beginning or end of a year, their entitlement to the Basic Salary will be pro-rata.
- No more than one Basic Salary is payable to a Member of the Authority.
Senior Salaries & Civic Salaries
- Members occupying specific posts shall be paid a Senior Salary as set out in Schedule 1.

- All Senior and Civic Salaries are paid inclusive of Basic Salary.
- A Senior Salary may not be paid to more than the number of members specified by the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales in its Annual Report and cannot exceed fifty percent of the total membership of the authority, except to include a temporary Senior Salary office holder providing temporary cover for the family absence of the appointed office holder.
- A Member of the Authority in receipt of a Senior Salary cannot receive a salary from any National Park Authority (NPA) or Fire and Rescue Authority (FRA) for which they have been nominated.
- Where the term of Senior Salary or Civic Salary of a Member begins or ends other than at the beginning or end of a year, their entitlement to the Salary will be pro-rata.
Election to Forgo Entitlement to Allowance
- A Member may, by notice in writing delivered to the Proper Officer of the authority, personally elect to forgo any part of their entitlement to any salary, allowance or fee payable under this Scheme from the date set out in the notice.
Suspension of a Member
- Where a Member of the Authority is suspended or partially suspended from their responsibilities or duties as a Member of the Authority in accordance with Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 (Conduct of Members), or regulations made under the Act, the part of the Basic Salary payable to them in respect of that period for which they are suspended will be withheld by the Authority (Section 155 (1) of the Measure).
- Where a Member in receipt of a Senior Salary is suspended or partially suspended from being a Member of the Authority in accordance with Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 (Conduct of Members), or regulations made under the Act, the Authority must not make payments of the Member’s Senior Salary for the duration of the suspension (Section 155 (1) of the Measure). If the partial suspension relates only to the specific responsibility element of the payment, the Member may retain the Basic Salary.
Repayment of salaries, allowances or fees
- Where payment of any salary, allowance or fee has been made to a Member of the Authority or Co-opted Member in respect of any period during which the Member concerned:

Payments
- Payments of all allowances will be made by the Director of Resources by direct bank credit in instalments of one-twelfth of the Member’s annual entitlement usually on the 25th day of each month (otherwise the previous working day).

- All payments are subject to the appropriate tax and National Insurance deductions.
Reimbursement of Costs of Care
- Reimbursement of costs of care shall be paid to a Member or Co-opted Member, who has caring responsibility for dependent children or adults, or a personal care requirement, provided the Member incurs expenses in the provision of such care whilst undertaking ‘approved’ council duties.
- Reimbursement of costs of care applies in respect of children who are aged 15 or under and other persons for whom the Member or Co-opted Member can show that care is required. If a Member or Co-opted Member has more than one dependent the Member may claim more than one allowance, provided the Member can demonstrate a need to make separate arrangements for care.
- Eligible Members may claim reimbursement of costs of care for actual and receipted costs up to a maximum amount not exceeding that determined by the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales as set out in Schedule 1. All claims for reimbursement of costs of care should be made in writing to Democratic Services detailing times, dates and reasons for claim. Receipts are required for both informal and formal care arrangements.
Family Absence
- Members are entitled under the provisions of the Family Absence for Members of Local Authorities (Wales) Regulations 2013 to a period of family absence, during which if they satisfy the prescribed conditions they are entitled to be absent from authority meetings.
- When taking family absence Members are entitled to retain a basic salary irrespective of their attendance record immediately preceding the commencement of the family absence.
- Should a senior salary holder be eligible for family absence they will be able to continue to receive their senior salary for the duration of the absence.
- If the authority agrees that it is necessary to make a substitute appointment to cover the family absence of a senior salary holder the Member substituting will be eligible if the authority so decides to be paid a senior salary.
- If the paid substitution results in the authority exceeding its maximum number of senior salaries, an addition to the maximum will be allowed for the duration of the substitution.
Co-optees’ payments
- A Co-optees’ daily fee (with a provision for half day payments) shall be paid to Co-optees, provided they are statutory Co-optees with voting rights.
- Co-optees’ payments will be capped at a maximum of the equivalent of ten full days a year for each committee to which an individual may be co-opted.
- Payments will take into consideration travelling time to and from the place of the meeting, reasonable time for pre meeting preparation and length of meeting (up to the maximum of the daily rate).
- The Head of Democratic Services is designated as the “appropriate officer” and will determine preparation time, travelling time and length of meeting, the fee will be paid on the basis of this determination.
- The Head of Democratic Services can determine in advance whether a meeting is programmed for a full day and the fee will be paid on the basis of this determination even if the meeting finishes before four hours has elapsed.
- A half day meeting is defined as up to 4 hours.
- A full day meeting is defined as over 4 hours.

Travel and Subsistence Allowances
General Principles
- Members and Co-opted Members are entitled to claim travelling expenses when travelling on the Authority’s business for ‘approved duties’ as set out in Schedule 2. Where Members travel on the Authority’s business they are expected to travel by the most cost effective means. In assessing cost effectiveness regard will be given to journey time. A Member who does not travel by the most cost effective means may have their claim abated by an appropriate amount.
- Where possible Members should share transport.
- The distance claimed for mileage should be the shortest reasonable journey by road from the point of departure to the point at which the duty is performed, and similarly from the duty point to the place of return.
- The rates of Members’ Travel and Subsistence Allowances are set out in Schedule 3 and are subject to annual review by the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales.
- Where a Member is suspended or partially suspended from their responsibilities or duties as a Member of the Authority in accordance with Part III of the Local Government Act 2000 (Conduct of Members), or regulations made under the Act, any travel and subsistence allowances payable to them in respect of that period for which they are suspended or partially suspended must be withheld by the Authority.
Travel by Private Vehicle
- The Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales has determined that the maximum travel rates payable should be the rates set out by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs for the use of private cars, motor cycles and pedal cycles plus any passenger supplement.
- The mileage rates for private vehicles as determined by the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales are set out in Schedule 3.
- Where a Member makes use of their private vehicle for approved duty purposes, the vehicle must be insured for business use. Proof of appropriate insurance must be provided to the Authority on request.
Travel by Public Transport
Rail/Coach Travel
Unless otherwise authorised rail tickets will be second-class. Members are responsible for purchasing suitable tickets in advance and may claim for tickets purchased which will be reimbursed upon production of the used ticket and/or a receipt.
Taxi Fares
Taxi fares will only be reimbursed where their use has been authorised for cases of urgency, where no public transport is reasonably available, or a Member has a particular personal need. Re-imbursement will be upon receipt only.
Air Fare
Travel by air is permissible if it is the most cost effective means of transport. Authorisation of the Head of Democratic Services is required and tickets will be purchased via Committee Services Unless otherwise authorised flight tickets will be budget or economy class. Discounted flight tickets will be purchased well in advance wherever possible in order to reduce costs.
Travel Abroad
Travel abroad on the Authority’s business will only be permitted where authorised by the Head of Democratic Services. Democratic Services will arrange travel and accommodation.
Other Travel Expenses
Members are entitled to reimbursement of toll fees, parking fees, overnight garaging and other necessary travel associated expenses. Re-imbursement will be upon receipt only.
Overnight Accommodation
- Overnight stays will only be permitted where the Authority’s business extends to two days or more, or the venue is at such a distance that early morning or late night travel would be unreasonable. All overnight stays must receive prior authorisation from the Head of Democratic Services.
- Overnight accommodation will be booked via the Head of Democratic Services. Wherever possible the overnight accommodation will be pre-paid or invoiced.
- Direct booking of overnight accommodation by a Member will only be permitted in the event of an emergency. Reimbursement will only be made upon the production of a receipt and will be at a level deemed reasonable and not in excess of the rates set out in Schedule 3.
Subsistence Allowance
- The day subsistence rate to meet the costs of meals and refreshments in connection with approved duties (including breakfast when not provided as part of overnight accommodation) is set out in Schedule 3. The maximum daily rate covers a 24 hour period and can be claimed for any meal that is relevant, providing such a claim is supported by receipt(s)
- No provision is made for subsistence claims within the County Borough.
Claims and Payments
- A claim for travel and subsistence allowances must be made in writing within three months of the end of the calendar month in which entitlement to allowances arises and must be accompanied by the relevant receipts.
- Allowances will be paid by the Director of Resources by direct bank credit.
Pensions
- The Authority shall enable its Members who are eligible to join the Local Government Pension Scheme.
Supporting the work of Authority Members
- The Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales expects Members to be provided with adequate support to carry out their duties and that the support provided should take account of the specific needs of individual Members. The Authority’s Democratic Services Committee is required to review the level of support provided to Members and should take proposals for reasonable support to the full council.
- All elected Members shall be provided with the means to have adequate telephone, email and internet facilities to give electronic access to appropriate information.
- Such support should be without cost to any Member. Deductions must not be made from Members’ salaries as a contribution towards the cost of support which the Authority has decided is necessary for the effectiveness and or efficiency of Members.
Compliance
- In accordance with the Regulations, the Authority must comply with the requirements of Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales in respect of the monitoring and publication of payments made to Members and Co-opted Members as set out in Schedule 4.
Members & Co-opted Members are reminded that expense claims are subject to both internal and external audit.
