CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM BRIEFING SHEET Submittal Date: Originating Department: Presented By: Agenda Item No.: 2/21 /OS Finance Gene Anderson 12. Council Date: 2/25/08 RECOMMENDED MOTION: Motion to approve POLICY ISSUE~S~: Employee compensation BACKGROUND: The pay plan referred to as the "old plan" was unplemented in 1983. It is a standard matrix design that is still used today in both government and the private sector. It consists of 72 grades each with five steps. Going from step I to step five takes a minimum of thtee years, but it can take longer if employee performance is not up to acceptable standards. The pay plan referred to as the "Z Plan" was implemented in September 2004. It is a mirror image of the old plan except that (1) the steps on every grade are nine percent less that the same steps in the old plan and (2) it takes a minimum of five years to go from steps 1-5 on the Z plan. All employees hired after September 1, 2004 and all employees promoted after the same date must be placed on the Z plan and not the old plan. The proposed consolidated plan merges and expands the old plan and the Z plan. The proposed plan is a matrix design with 75 grades, each with 10 steps. As proposed it would take a minimum of 20 years to go from step one to step ten of the consolidated plan. The first five steps of the consolidated plan are idenrical to the Z plan. Steps six and seven of the combined plan are virtually the same as steps four and five of the old plan (they are actually one half percent lower than the old plan amounts). Steps eight, nine, and ten of the consolidated plan are entirely new steps.
