Central Services Committee

Church of Scotland emblem

HUMAN RESOURCES

History and remit

The Personnel Committee was set up in 1978 on the report of the Advisory Board to determine salaries, length of service and conditions generally for secretaries and members of office staff.

In 1991, and again in 1996, the General Assembly made some minor adjustments to the remit of the committee. These included a requirement that the Personnel Committee should conduct an annual salary review of those members of staff for which it is the employing agency and act as the coordinating body for the Church in respect of terms and conditions for staff.

At the 2001 General Assembly a joint working party's proposals to set up the Central Co-ordinating Committee to manage the Church's central administration were accepted. This committee is now known as the Central Services Committee and has responsibility for the department, which was renamed Human Resources at the 2006 General Assembly.
