Salary and pension

The overall remuneration package includes a basic salary as well as the amount the Council has to contribute to the pension of Local Government Pension Scheme members. Those Chief Officers who are members of the LGPS and earn between £113,401 and £170,100 pa contribute 11.4% of their salary to their membership of the scheme. The employer's contribution to the pension of employees, at all levels, for 2024-25 is 20.6%. All Chief Officers are paid a fixed salary.

Senior managers are expected to be on call at all times, including weekends. Nottinghamshire County Council does not at this time provide any benefits that an equivalent senior manager in the private sector might receive in addition to the basic salary - for example, performance-related bonuses, private health care or company cars.

Expenses claimed

All expenses are paid to employees in the course of carrying out duties in line with the council's travel and accommodation policy, which is part of the nationally agreed terms and conditions of service and detailed in part six of the council's constitution, on pages 6-73 to 6-78.
