The cases have been narrowed down after an investigation
A review of problems with a payment system used by Nottingham City Council found 17 members of staff may have been underpaid by the authority. An audit of payment systems looked at 7,000 job contracts and identified possible problems with 364.
An internal review of the council’s HR and payroll processes had determined there was ‘no assurance’ in these areas in terms of financial standards. The review highlighted a “poor system of internal control and consistent non-compliance with key controls”, which has resulted in a financial impact to the council.According to audit documents, the problem relates to a failure of automatic payment systems to increase pay for some staff members.
Changes to pay and progression mean pay grades of all employees have now been reviewed this year. A further investigation of the cases will now take place. The council was asked what the potential value of the underpayments were, but no figure was provided.
