Explanation
This ordinance amends the Management Compensation Plan, Ordinance No. 2713-2013, as amended, by adjusting the pay structure by two and seven-tenths percent (2.7%) to remain market competitive. Adjusting the pay structure will require that any employee currently at the minimum pay rate for each pay grade will be increased by two and seven-tenths percent (2.7%) or any amount below the new minimum of the assigned pay structure. Any cost associated with these adjustments will be absorbed by the respective department budgets. This ordinance also adjusts the 5-34 pay structure in order to pay employees appropriately who would otherwise be assigned to a union. This ordinance also enacts the classification of Traffic Management Division Assistant Administrator (0235) as a result of Civil Service Commission action; authorizes the Department of Recreation and Parks to create an incentive pay policy for certain seasonal employees; and modifies the pay grades of two classifications.
