Action Requested
Approve, by motion, two adjustments to the Compensation Plan update approved on July 16, 2018.
Senior Citizen Programmer position in 4N rather than 3N.
Top pay for Administrative Assistant (fire) to be equivalent to prior pay plan.
Background/Discussion
As the entries were being made to implement the new pay plan, two items were found that should be
adjusted.
The Senior Citizen Programmer position was reflected in pay grade 3N on the Positions and Pay Grades
table and it should have been in pay grade 4N.
One of staff’s goals in developing the pay plan was to ensure none of the position’s current employees
would be negatively impacted in pay. The Administrative Assistant position for the fire department is in
a pay grade in the new plan that has a top pay that is slightly lower than the previous pay plans top pay.
This was not recognized earlier because the employee is not yet at the top pay step. For the current
employee staff proposes to maintain the top pay of the previous pay plan, increased by any annual
adjustment given to all positions in the pay plan. The employee is eligible for the adjusted top pay with
2019 step increases.
Financial Impact
There would be a slight budget impact in 2019 that would be reflected in the 2019 budget.
