Lodged au Greffe on 11th October 2013 by the Connétable of St. John
STATES GREFFE
2013 Price code: A P.128
PROPOSITION
THE STATES are asked to decide whether they are of opinion
to agree that the recommendation of the States Members' Remuneration Review Body to increase the remuneration for States members in 2014 by £600 (excluding expenses) should not be implemented and that the remuneration for 2014 (excluding expenses) should remain at the current level of £42,000.

REPORT
Over the last few years a number of members have shown restraint and not taken a pay increase. I ask that, again this year, members across the board give serious thought before taking an increase. The good tax breaks in this year's budget will, in most cases, increase members' income/spend.
We have to be conscious that some 2000 plus people are unemployed, plus across all walks of Island life, people are feeling the financial pain.
Financial and manpower implications
If all 51 States members wished to receive the proposed increase, there would be an additional cost to the States in 2014 of £30,600. If this proposition is adopted, there would be no increase in the cost of States members' remuneration for 2014 when compared to 2013 (the £30,600 saving would go a long way to pay for an additional nurse at the hospital).
There are no manpower implications.
