NALC committee agrees the national agreement on terms and pay needs reviewing

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) Smaller Councils Committee on 23 May 2023 agreed that the national agreement on terms and pay needs to be reviewed. 

The Large Councils Committee had previously discussed the National Agreement on Salaries and Conditions of Services on 28 February 2023. They agreed to present the meeting to the Smaller Councils Committee and Management Board for discussion. 

In addition to the Smaller Council Committee agreeing the agreement needs to be reviewed, they emphasised clerks from smaller councils being appropriately paid for all the hours they work.

The committee also agreed to engage with NALC’s National Assembly county association representatives who are from smaller councils. They will be encouraged to take part in the committee’s work and to organise a network for the smallest councils.
