Who is asking the clerk for the staff job descriptions the clerk has replied to him telling him he can not see the job descriptions. I do not agree with the clerk and think this is a reasonable request and I think the clerk is wrong can anyone help on this Matter

Is the councillor asking for their contract or their job description? If it is the later then they should be given it with no quibble.  If its the former, then they could get a copy of the model contract as the contract of employment is a private document protected under the DPA 2018.

Er ... if the contract is protected in way you have suggested then how do you expect the councillors to understand and comply with its provisions (eg. the process for agreeing an uplift in pay and the date it applies from)?

Both the contract and the JD should be published and open source documents
