North Lanarkshire Update



Here's an FOI request I submitted to North Lanarkshire Council recently along with the Council's response which confirms that Iris Wylie is the senior official with day- to-day responsibility for overseeing the job evaluation review of various NLC jobs that is currently underway.

Now this surprised me somewhat, I have to say, because Iris was in post as 'head of human resources' throughout the period when North Lanarkshire Council made such a hash of its pay arrangements which resulted in thousands of equal pay claims being lodged with the Employment Tribunals.

Regular readers will recall that NLC has brought in an external adviser to assist with the current review of jobs which were found not to have been assessed and graded properly by the Employment Tribunals, due to 'errors' or 'mistakes' on the Council's part which have never been properly explained, as far as I know.

So let's hope things go much better this time around although I have to admit I can't find much information about the progress of the review which doesn't augur well for the future.


North Lanarkshire Council's FOI response

Having investigated, I can advise that the name and job title of the relevant officer is as follows: - 

·    Iris Wylie, Head of Human Resources
