Market forces

The "plain language" used to explain senior officers' pay at Cornwall Council is now on-line. This bit covers most things:

"In exceptional circumstances the Council may pay a market supplement in addition to the salary for the job where, in the absence of such a payment, it would not be possible to recruit and retain suitable employees. The value of the market supplement takes into account the labour market pay information for similar jobs. Any market supplements are reviewed on an annual basis and are varied or cease as necessary according to the labour market evidence for the job in question."

I look forward to detailed surveys and analysis of the "labour market evidence."
