Take disciplinary action against a local authority head of paid service, monitoring officer or chief finance officer: local authority
Key points
If a local authority employer is considering disciplinary action against the head of paid service, monitoring officer or chief finance officer (the "section 151 officer"), it must comply with certain statutory requirements.
The relevant procedural requirements provide for the appointment of a panel to advise on the dismissal of a senior officer.
Local authority employers must understand the role and powers of the panel and the limits that are placed on the action that an authority can take in these circumstances.
