In the first political move since the outcry over Hospital director Andrew McLaughlin’s £216,000-per-year contract, Members yesterday backed a proposal for the States Employment Board to design a ‘new mechanism to control and monitor senior salaries’.
And this could include giving the States the power to block £100,000 salaries.
The move forms part of an overall proposition which Members were expected to approve today. If they do so, the board will be asked to formally submit the plans within the next two weeks.
The major development in the public sector pay saga happened yesterday afternoon as a proposition by Deputy Roy Le Hérissier to give the States the power to block any salary over £100,000 came to the House.
