WIP was <br />implemented in lieu of longevityT steps that many departments use as a financial incentive for retention. The WIP <br />incentive included requirements/incentives for phyTsical fimess, skills testing, education, `vellness and communityT <br />service. The program `vas updated in 1999 and �vas added to the sergeant's union `vhen theyT organized in 2000. <br />WIP had remained the same since 1999. CityT administration staff worked with members from the patrol and <br />sergeants' unions to refresh the program to enhance wellness incentives and participation. <br />This update Yeallocates the percentages changing the physical fitness component from 40% of the total incentive <br />to 50% and Skills from 20% to 25%. It also combines the Wellness (10%), Education (20%), and Communityr <br />Service (10%) components into Whole Health and provides 25% of the incentive foY completing 10 activities <br />within this component. <br />We also request the abilityT to make minor adjustments to the program as approved by the city- administrator. This <br />includes adding events to the Whole Health component and approving alternatives to or adjustments in the <br />PhyTsical Fimess component. <br />Financial Impact <br />The cost of the Wage Incentive Program is included in the budget. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />The Elk RiveY Mission <br />Attachments <br />■ Updated WIP PolicyT <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A 2a�elcolning co�nlnunity 2a�ith T evolutiona� y and spizzted T esou� cefulness, exceptional <br />se�vice, and coln�nunity engagelnent that encou�ages and ins�iz•es pTo�pe�zty. <br />rowEREo ar <br />�I'1 ���� <br />Update�l• January 2023 <br />
