Retirement of Chief Executive - Notice Agreement

Minutes:

It was noted that the current Chief Executive and Head of Paid Service would be retiring from the Council w.e.f 31 December 2021. Although the post had a six-month contractual notice period, it was recommended that the Council enter into an employment settlement agreement to pay the contractual notice period rather than expect the Chief Executive to continue in employment for this period. An interim Chief Executive would be appointed whilst the process of recruiting a new, permanent Head of Paid Service was undertaken.

 

RESOLVED: That the proposed Settlement Agreement with Fran Beasley for the payment of contractual notice and holiday entitlement only, be approved.
