CEO Remuneration Recommendations – Salaries and Allowances TribunalBackground The Local Government Act 1995, section 5.39(7), was amended in 2005 to provide for local governments to take into account the recommendations contained in a report of the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal before entering into, or renewing, a contract of employment with a CEO. The latest Tribunal report, Recommendation Report: Local Government CEOs – 2007 June 27th, was released on July 2, 2007. The Tribunal emphasises that these are recommendations as prescribed under the Local Government Act 1995, rather than a determination of what the remuneration of CEOs must be. The recommendations provide guidance to local governments when making decisions on CEO remuneration. It is useful for local government employers and employees to have this type of benchmark available.

Eleven levels have been adopted for CEOs of regional local governments. The recommended Total Reward Package comprises the salary and the dollar amount of a number of items normally included in such a package. Items normally included, and those which may be excluded from a package, are listed in the report. The Total Reward Package recommendation takes effect from July 1, 2007. Future reports will be made at intervals of not more than 12 months. The bands and Total Reward Packages for CEOs of local governments are as follows:
