The Committee noted the reduction in the amount requested as the number of posts needing support had been reduced. A Member asked how the salary compared to comparable roles, as it appeared high. The Chair added that staff costs for the project were set out in more detail in the application form, and that it may be a case of the job description underselling the role rather than overpaying. The CGO responded that for any applications for grants to support employment roles, officers checked the job description and how the role and rate of pay compared to similar ones in the sector. Officers had gone back to organisations in the past when they had felt the proposed salary to be too high or too low.
