That the Attendance Management Policy be approved.

A report was submitted to Cabinet seeking approval of a proposed Attendance Management policy and procedure for the Council.

Councillor Simon Tagg advised Members that they now had a Recognition Agreement with Human Resources.  Members’ attention was drawn to the document which was appended to the report.

Councillor Sweeney totally supported the policy stating that it was good that a line of communication had been re-established with the Trade Unions

Councillor Holland, the Portfolio Holder for Leisure, Culture and Heritage endorsed the comments made, stating that the proposed policy had been endorsed by the Council’s Executive Management Team and the Trade Unions.

Councillor Simon Tagg drew Members’ attention to paragraph 4.1, particularly bullet point three, suggesting that ‘more simplistic’ be amended to ‘simplification’.

Resolved:     That the Attendance Management Policy be approved.
