'ity of iver MEMORANDUM Item # 4.11. TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Mayor & City Council Lori Johnson for the Comparable Worth Committee: Tom Zerwas, Sandy Thackeray, Phil Hals & Lori Johnson June 27, 1997 Comparable Worth Recommendations With the addition of ice arena employees and a seasonal park laborer position, there was a need for the Comparable Worth Committee (CWC) to meet and review the new positions. At the same time, the CWC took the opportunity to review two other positions that the CWC felt had changed and may need to be adjusted. The CWC's job is to review the positions based on facts relating to the position and the City's internal job and pay structures and present a fair and unbiased recommendation to the Council for approval. The positions reviewed and the CWC's recommendations follow. On another unrelated personnel matter, I wanted to provide the Council with an update on the newly implemented performance review system. I will start with that update first. Performance Reviews Reviews of employees started in May and most employees have now met with their supervisor to discuss their review (all of the reviews will be completed prior to June 30). The process was well received by both employees and supervisors. The supervisor training which was presented by Bob Fjerstad was very beneficial as can be evidenced by the results of the reviews; they are as fair, accurate, and unbiased as possible. Supervisors took this responsibility seriously and made the review a positive interaction with employees. There are, of course, minor improvements and changes that will be made for next year in an attempt to make the process even better. Hopefully both employees and supervisors will use the information from the reviews to help capitalize upon the strengths of each employee and to implement goals for improvement. 13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
