BACKGROUND INFORMATION Staff has completed a review and has revised the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual. The revised Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual has been reviewed and approved by the Executive Director and legal counsel. The major changes to the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual include: Section 2.3 "Vacancies" Staff is proposing to add language that would allow the Executive Director to determine if it is in the Commission's best interest to down grade a vacant position's job classification or the pay grade. Section 2.11 "Promotion" The Commission's current policy limits a salary increase of 10% to employees promoted to a new position. Staff is proposing to add language that _would allow the Executive Director to authorize a salary increase in excess of 10% to. employees promoted to a new position as long as the increase is within the salary range based on the most recent compensation study. Agenda Item 5 Section 3.9 "Compensation" The Commission's current compensation policy provides for a merit salary increase at twelve-month intervals. Staff is proposing to add language that would give the Executive Director the authority to grant salary equity adjustments outside the normal merit salary increase intervals. This authority would allow the Executive Director to address issues related to internal salary compression, retention considerations, and classification parity. A salary equity adjustment must stay within the salary range based on the most recent compensation study. Section 5.3 "Holiday Leave" Exempt employees who work during a pay period that includes a paid holiday are granted holiday leave for hours in excess of 80 hours. The holiday leave policy limits the holiday leave accrual to 80 hours of holiday time. Commission responsibilities may require employees to work on a paid holiday in order to meet deadlines. Therefore, staff is proposing to add language that would allow the Executive Director the discretion to authorize holiday leave hours in excess of the accrual of 80 hours with the intent that the employee will use the accrued holiday leave when Commission responsibilities are completed.
