Home My WebLink About2000-02-08; City Council; 15612; Revised Hourly Salary ScheduleClP OF CARLSBAD - AGENW BILL ~It,,,,“~~~~~*,...,,,.,, RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. mevising the Hourly Salary Schedule. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Hourly Salary Schedule was last revised on March 1, 1998 to bring the City’s hourly compensation into compliance with the new minimum wage law and adjust for market movement. Consistent with Council’s goal to ensure the delivery of top quality services, staff has annually conducted a salary survey of hourly positions to monitor comparable jobs in the market. Although average salaries have been increasing, the change has not been significant enough to justify an adjustment until this year. Based on a recent survey of the cumulative market increases, staff now recommends the need to adjust hourly salary ranges in order to maintain competitive salaries. The attached revised Hourly Salary Schedule reflecting the latest market survey is submitted for Council consideration and approval. Market Adiustment Since 1999, the trend of salaries for hourly wages has been accelerating upward. This is due to the robust economy, low unemployment and the intense competition for workers in the marketplace. The salaries have particularly risen in the entry level categories of workers where the City is competing against both private sector companies and other public sector agencies that use entry level workers. Based on the results of the survey conducted, staff recommends increasing some of the minimum dollar amounts an additional twenty-five cents to one dollar per hour and the maximum hourly dollar amounts an additional one to two dollars per hour in most categories. The largest increase proposed is in the maximum dollar amount of the Administrative Assistant which is recommended to be increased an additional five dollars per hour commensurate with comparable positions in the classified service. Departments have the flexibility to compensate hourly staff up to the maximum dollar amounts specified for classitications if appropriate. It is each department’s responsibility to monitor and approve any initial salary placement and increases for hourly staff based on individual qualifications and performance. There are no automatic increases required for individual employees as a result of the proposed salary schedule adjustments. Any salary increases to hourly staff must be funded within the department’s current budget. Any requests for additional funds for the new fiscal year will be submitted in the normal budget request process. FISCAL IMPACT: There is no additional request for funds necessary in the implementation of this revised hourly salary schedule. Funding for hourly increases will be absorbed in the departments’ current fiscal budgets.
