MTG. 6-.d1% 9.5 REVISED HOURLY SALARY SCHEDULE CI’
DEPT. HR cn
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
City Council adopt Resolution No. 95-@ approving the revised hourly salary schedule.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The current hourly salary schedule has been in effect since November 27, 1989. During the
past five years, the City’s use of hourly employees has changed as the needs of the organization
have evolved. Staff recommends a revision of the hourly salary schedule to meet the current
needs in managing hourly employment and to provide for more flexible administration of the
hourly pay plan.
Background :
The hourly workforce encompasses over 200 employees working both seasonally and
continuously throughout the year. This employee group works as needed on a limited basis up tc,
1000 hours in a fiscal year, and is compensated at an hourly rate. In the FY 1995-96
preliminary budget, the hourly workforce is equivalent to ?9 full-time-equivalent (FTE)
employees in addition to the regular full-time workforce.
Hourly employment creates a distinctly different type of employment relationship and requires
a more flexible classification and compensation system. Currently, the hourly schedule lists
job titles and salary ranges in a five step pay plan as shown in Exhibit 1. There are two major
limitations to this current schedule which serve to restrict the departments’ flexibility in
classifying and compensating hourly staff.
1 e The published list of job titles is limited and does not encompass certain job titles where
hourly employees are needed. There are a number of new classification titles which have
not been officially updated on this schedule.
The step pay plan allows for only five different pay rates per each job classification.
Currently, pay cannot fall in between steps which are 5% apart, thus limiting the
flexibility to differentiate pay rates or to give increases, except in 5% increments.
The revised hourly salary schedule (Attachment A of the Resolution) includes the following
changes.
2.
Salary ranges replace specific steps enabling departments to pay an hourly rate
anywhere in the range based on an individual’s experience and skills or to recognize
performance differences among hourly staff. Salary adjustments may be given from 1%
up to 5% allowing supervisors to control more directly their hourly salary budgets.

e Broad classification categories, such as Off ice, TechnicaVParaprofessional, Service, or
Administrative, that are tied to salary ranges replace specific job titles. Specific titles
within categories will be used as guides, but may be administratively amended, added or
deleted as jobs change within the classification category and salary range. This allows
greater flexibility in classifying jobs accurately within a broad job category.
e A Professional Services category has been added to accommodate the unique
circumstances when hourly professional services are needed for a limited period of timc
and when no other category and pay rate addresses this need. The hourly range for
Professional Services will begin at $21 an hour and will not exceed any hourly rate
comparable to positions in the City’s Classification and Salary Plan. The rate paid for
each Professional hourly employee would be determined by Human Resources based on
the market for that position and would be approved by the City Manager. Although these
situations are few, the City can save from 25%-50% in additional costs by directly
employing Professional staff instead of using a third party agency or independent
con tractor.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Council may implement the revised hourly salary schedule without increasing the current pay
rates for hourly employees. However, hourly employees have not had their rates adjusted sinci
1989. Recognizing that certain market and individual salary adjustments need to be made, stai
recommends that an additional $35,000 be included in the general fund hourly salary accounts
in the 1995-96 proposed budget. This amount represents an increase of 3% over the amounts
currently in the proposed budget.
Departments will be reponsible for reviewing hourly employees and determining appropriate
salary adjustments within the appropriated funds. Salary adjustments will be based on the
employee’s skills, abilities and performance on the job.
The inclusion of the $35,000 in the budget will lower the proposed contingency account from
$550,000 to $51 5,000.
