ITEM EXPLANATION: /*Q I
Background
In August 1996, both federal and state legislatures mandated several significant increases
in the minimum wage to be paid by all employers. Staff reviewed the hourly salary
structure to comply with the new laws, and simultaneously conducted a formal salary
survey of hourly positions to ensure competitive wages. Based on this review, a revised
hourly salary schedule reflecting both the new minimum wage increases and market
adjustments is submitted for Council approval.
Minimum Wage Increases
From October 1996 through March 1998, the following mandatory minimum wage
increases have been established:
Effective Date Minimum Wape per Hour Net % Increase January 1,1991 $4.25
October 1, 1996 $4.75 +11.8%
March 1, 1997 $5 .OO +5.3%
September 1, 1997 $5.15 +3.0%
March 1, 1998 $5.75 +I 1.7%
The total $1 SO net increase from $4.25 to $5.75 per hour represents a significant
30% jump in the minimum wage during a three year period affecting nearly
one half of our hourly workforce. However, because the City’s current hourly salary
schedule minimum is $4.50 per hour, the actual overall increase is slightly mitigated
resulting in a 28% increase.
The proposed hourly salary schedule, which would take effect July 1, 1997, increases the
minimum wage to $5.15 an hour, two months prior to the required September 1, 1997 effective date. Since the last mandatory wage increase does not go into effect until March
1998, staff plans to submit another revised hourly salary schedule during the budget cycle
for FY 98-99 to reflect the required increase to $5.75 per hour.
Market Adiustments
Because of the significant mandatory increases to entry level salaries, all salaries will
become compressed unless the top end of the salary ranges are also increased. As entry
