Council Budget
Council Waste
As part of a campaign to highlight areas of spending where the local Council could save a lot of money I have written to Mr.Stephen Moir, the head of personnel at South Tyneside Borough Council, asking him to provide information about absenteeism amongst Council employees.
I am interested in knowing how much it cost us to pay for non productive employees in the last fully recorded financial year, in terms of (equivalent) days lost, and pounds, shillings, and pence.
I have asked what procedures and controls are in place to reduce absenteeism and whether the Council operates an Occupational Health Care Absence Management policy.
It will be interesting to note the results of my questions when I receive them, my guess is that the cost will run into millions of pounds, which if managed and saved, could be used to reduce our level of taxation next time round.
This is an area that I believe opposition members could be be probing in, it would result in an increase rather than cut in services, and would meet with much support from the voting public.
