TITLE: ~uNcL*ssIFIE* s*Lmy REVISED HOURLY SALARY SCHEDULE AND 3ECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 206 1 -da revising the Hourly Salary Schedule and Unclassified Salary Schedule and requesting funds to implement the new minimum wage. ITEM EXPLANATION: Effective January 1,2001, the State of California’s minimum wage will rise to $6.25 per hour and on January 1,2002 it will rise again to $6.75 per hour. In reviewing the impacts of the new minimum wage on hourly salaries, staff also conducted the annual salary survey of hourly positions in comparable local government agencies to ensure that the City’s hourly wage rates were competitive. As a result of these two factors, a revised hourly salary schedule reflecting both the new minimum wage increase and recommended market adjustments is being submitted for Council’s consideration and approval. A strikeout version of the recommended salary range increases is attached for your reference. Factors Affecting Recommended Adjustments: As the minimum wage rises, all salary ranges are affected and become compressed. As a result, it is recommended that the maximum hourly rates be increased as well in order to maintain flexible salary ranges to recognize differences in experience, performance and longevity within the classifications. A robust economy, full employment and a dwindling labor pool have created an extremely competitive job market. Overall, the salary market for hourly employment has risen for all jobs, and dramatically increased for skilled jobs such as Reference Librarians, Arts Aides/Assistants, Pre-School Instructors and those in the Technical/Paraprofessional area. Currently, the Library and Recreation Departments are especially impacted and have experienced higher turnover and longer-term vacancies than normal. Therefore, all categories have been increased and select categories are recommended to increase more than others in order to provide the flexibility to pay at a higher level to recruit and retain experienced staff. Salaries of our full-time employees have continued to rise and the increases in the hourly schedule help maintain parity between the full-time and part-time salary schedules. Approximately 70 employees have been given mandatory increases to raise their hourly rate to the new minimum wage. All but one employee are in the Recreation and Library Departments. The cost of these mandatory increases is approximately $14,000. The Library will be able to absorb their increased cost within their department budget. The Recreation Department is requesting an additional $7,000 to be added to their budget to PAGE2OFAE3# 14#~3 1 cover the mandatory cost. Any additional increases are discretionary and are determined and awarded by the departments based on their current budgets. Human Resources will present another revised salary schedule in January 2002 to reflect the next minimum wage increase and the annual market review of hourly salaries. In addition to the above consideration, Human Resources is recommending a five percent increase to the salary range for the classification of Management Intern. This is an unclassified position that is not linked to salary adjustments given to other full-time employees. Therefore, it is recommended to adjust the range comparable to increases given to full-time and part-time staff FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed revisions of the hourly salary schedule and unclassified salary schedule require an additional $7,000 to be added to the Recreation department budget from general f?md contingencies to cover the mandatory minimum wage increase. Each department will fund any additional increases to their salary accounts through budget savings or will provide separate justification requests for additional funds. EXHIBITS: 1.
