(hoping the council is carrying out it obligation to deduct Tax and NI from the Locum Clerks salary, it is something they failed to do for a previous some years ago with another Locum and assistant despite them knowing the law change in 2011 https://www.taxation.co.uk/articles/2011-03-18-21871-parish-clerks-must-be-subject-paye )
The locum clerk may be better than the outgoing in many ways, I understand at least one member of the council objected to the Locum Clerk staying in what is probably the best and most expensive hotel here in Oakham.
If we are paying thousand in fees for a locum Clerk it should be expected that the town gets a clerk that follows meeting laws and presents documents in a correctly. Looking at next weeks meeting the documents are posted in the wrong order and if you click on the minutes document, you get a word document containing minutes for more than the one meeting very poorly presented.
Also employment and privacy laws are disregarded the full name and salary details of an employee are posted online for all to find.
Ms ###### S111/112 November Salary £920.19
I am pleased the town council has appointed a new Clerk for some odd reason the appointment was made in a exempt part of the last meeting. No name has been released. A town councillor has told me it is a local man, whose name they can't remember and he started this week.
