Introduction
The 1984 Local Government Pay Equity Act (Act) requires that each local government jurisdiction report
its pay data to the Minnesota Department of Employee Relations (DOER) every three years to determine
its compliance with the Act. The City is required to report for 2006 and the report is due on January 31,
2007.
Discussion
Copies of the compliance and implementation reports are attached for your review. In order to be in
compliance, the underpayment ratio must be in excess of 80 percent, or if it is less than 80 percent, the T-
test results must pass. The City's underpayment ratio is 97.1 %, therefore passing the test. The DOER
will review the reports and notify the City of the results; however, based on the information presented, it
appears that the City is in compliance with the Act as of December 31, 2006.
