Elected Members - Remuneration Consultation Survey

Consultation Purpose: The States of Alderney have recently commissioned an independent review of the remuneration payable to elected members of the States of Alderney. Elected members remuneration was last looked at in 2008 in the Day report. The purpose of the consultation and report is to review the current basis for States members remuneration, assess whether that basis is still appropriate and relevant and determine whether the current levels fairly and properly reflect the nature of the roles. The report will make recommendations as to the level of remuneration going forward.

6.Which Statement most completely represents your view? (Tick all those you agree with)

It is an important role that should be paid

An elected member should be paid at levels sufficient to encourage competent and community minded residents to seek office

The level of payment should ensure that the people with the right experience and qualifications come forward for election

Payment should be set at a level appropriate to the demands of the role and their value to the community

If an elected member is paid, then as a rule they should not be working in other employment at the same time

An elected member should not be an employee but classed as self-employed

I do not agree that Alderney should pay their elected members since payment would encourage professional politicians

Being an elected member is a privilege and should not be paid

An elected member should be entitled to join the States pension scheme
