Hambu� Administrator RE: Classification Plan and Salary Schedule DATE: October 20, 1980 Attached is proposed ordinance which adopts the Classification Plan and Salary Schedule. It will be introduced at this evening's meeting and held over for passage at your November 3rd meeting. Hopefully our review process will be completed by then and, if there are changes, the bill can be amended prior to passage. I reviewed the six step and twelve step (actually works out to be eleven step) plans with Jim Doyle of PAS and the staff and we were unanimous in picking the six step as being most beneficial. As you will notice, there has been a seventh tep added. This was added 5% below the first recommended step (prior to Wadding the across-the-board increase) to correct a problem that came to our attention after last Monday's Finance Committee Meeting. The problem was that if new employees were hired at the original recommended step one, in six months (after the probationary increase) new employees would be making more than old employees who had been here two-three years. Under this seven step plan, old employees will be placed at step B (two) (original step A (one) ) and new employees will be hired at step A (did not exist in original plan) . This change will insure that the longer term employees will at least stay ahead of new hires. This change does not increase the cost of the plan. The attached salary schedule, then, reflects the original schedule you were given with an extra step on the bottom plus a seven percent increase across the board for the entire plan. We are proposing the seven percent increase because that is what the employees received last year and we feel that it is important that they receive that same amount as a minimum this year. The ranges shown in the classification plan also reflect that increase. The cost for implementing the plans as recommended are as follows: 3.26% Adjustment to new System 7.00% Across-the-Board Increase • 10.26% Total This cost is approximately $48,500.00 above the 9% budgeted for salary increases ,Y n this budget. I would propose that no additional appropriation be made, ut that normal turnover, attrition, and force reduction be utilized to make up that $48,500.00. If that does not reduce our increase to a flat 9%, we could freeze new hires for the last quarter to make up the difference. Please review the materials you have and this bill with attachments. I£ you have any questions, please feel free to contact me prior to the November 3rd meeting. Otherwise, I am sure that we will discuss the proposal fully at that meeting.
