Explanation
This ordinance amends the Management Compensation Plan, Ordinance No. 2713-2013, as amended, by adjusting the pay structure by two and six-tenths percent (2.6%) 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 six-tenths percent (2.6%) or any amount below the new minimum of the assigned pay grade and structure. Any cost associated with these adjustments will be absorbed by the respective department budgets. This ordinance also adjusts the 50-60 pay structure in order to pay employees appropriately who would otherwise be assigned to a union. This ordinance also repeals the classification of Summer Worker (3680) based on Civil Service Commission action.
