Decision:
Cabinet formally agreed to move to a shared service for Revenues, as soon as is practicable and to agree the scoping document attached in Appendix 1.
Torfaen County Borough Council provide interim management arrangements for Revenues until officers officially transfer to the new shared service.
The final implementation of the shared service is incorporated into the current Memorandum of Understanding between the two authorities for the Shared Benefits Service.
Cabinet agreed the relevant staff transfer under the Transfer of Undertakings Protection of Employment Regulations (TUPE) to Torfaen County Borough Council, following due process and the shared service arrangement in its extended scope is fully embedded.
Cabinet authorised the Chief Officer for Resources and Assistant Head of Finance for Revenues, Systems & Exchequer, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Whole Authority Resources, to finalise the Memorandum of Understanding and TUPE arrangements in discussion with Torfaen County Borough Council.
Cabinet agreed that any resultant redundancy or pension strain costs are met from the corporate budget, if it is not possible to manage these costs within the overall Directorate’s budget.
