Further guidelines are to be issued over plans to overhaul how much local authority members get paid.
A new rates system is being proposed that would see a £12.50 per hour day time rate with a £50 cap.
Night time sessions will remain capped at £30, with an hourly rate of £7.50.
Douglas Council leader David Christian says it's high time that members should be realistically recompensated for the time they devote to their duties.
MHK Richard Ronan has responsibility for local authorities - he says the new proposals recognise this:
