The report proposed temporarily increasing the mileage rate paid to Council staff using their private vehicles for work from existing rates to 65p per mile, regardless of engine size. The increase would apply from 1 August to 30 October 2022, with a review involving Trade Unions before the end of October.

Recommendation

Approve the temporary increase in staff mileage rates to 65p per mile from 1 August to 30 October 2022, delegate authority to the Director of Human Resources & Organisational Development to implement it, and allow the temporary change to be extended following consultation and review.

Financial impact

Estimated additional cost of approximately £25,000 for three months, to be borne by individual service budgets.
