EGty1� ,.,�� Request for Action River To Item Number Mayor and City Council 4.10 Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Consent December 16, 2019 Lauren Wipper, Human Resources Manager Item Description Reviewed by 2020 Compensation Plan Cal Portner, City Administrator Reviewed by Action Requested Adopt,by motion, a resolution approving the 2020 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees. Background/Discussion Attached is the 2020 Compensation Plan for Non-Organized Employees. Changes include: ■ 3% pay increase—Budgeted for 2020 and reflected in item #1 and the Pay Plan on the final page of the document. It is also reflected in pay for paid on-call firefighters,part-time cable caster, part-time liquor clerks, and police reserves. ■ The change in item #2 is allowing for a step increase for wastewater operators that hold a C license instead of operators that hold a B license. This is a correction from the 2019 Compensation Plan as this is how it was intended to be written. ■ Employees hired after July 1, 2018,receive their step increase on their anniversary date rather than approximately July 1 as has been the practice. Reviews are given at the beginning of the year. Language in item #4 has been changed to reflect continued satisfactory performance to accommodate employees receiving step increases later in the year. ■ Minimum wage increases to $10.00 per hour January 1, 2020, and this has been adjusted for applicable part-time positions. The recreation program lead position starting pay is increasing from $10.00 to $12.00 per hour due to the increase in minimum wage over the past few years. This maintains an appropriate pay separation between the lead and assistant positions. ■ Skating Academy and Hockey Program employees may receive a pay increase in the fall rather than the summer as this is when most of the programs begin. ■ Language was removed from item #10,part-time liquor store clerk pay, as the 2019 language accommodated pay changes due to the implementation of the new compensation plan. The new language is what existed prior to the new compensation plan. ■ Item #11 adjusts the way wastewater operators are compensated for being on call. This accommodates employees switching days mid-week. Language has been added to identify the way operators have been paid for performing required work at the plant on a holiday. ■ Item #12 is adding a current practice to the compensation plan and identifying how hours over the 2 hour minimum are paid. ■ Item #13 identifies how we will pay employees who are able to respond to an emergency remotely. For example,wastewater employees can log into their system from home to diagnose and fix problems. ■ A provision for out of class pay for arena employees working as shift leaders has been removed.
