Report of the Strategic Director of Housing and Customer Services

Presented by the Corporate Portfolio Holder

Councillor N Rushton presented the report to Cabinet, setting out the proposal to accept a delegation of function from Harborough District Council in order to deliver a HR and Payroll system on their behalf. It was noted that a waiver from call-in on this decision had been agreed by the Chairman of the Council in order for the delegation scheme to be signed immediately ahead of an April 2021 start date for the provision of the service.

Members spoke in support of the proposal as a collaborative and forward thinking use of expertise, and a way to achieve economies of scale.

It was moved by Councillor N Rushton, seconded by Councillor R Ashman and

RESOLVED THAT CABINET:

1)    Notes the work that has been undertaken by the Finance and HR  teams on this project.

2)    Agrees to accept the delegation of the provision of a HR and Payroll system and support from Harborough District Council, as detailed in the report.

3)    Grants delegated authority to the Strategic Director of Housing and Customer Services to negotiate and finalise the terms of the delegation agreement with Harborough District Council and enter into the agreement.

Reason for decision: Legislation requires Cabinet authority to receive a delegated Function from another Local Authority
