Discussion of salary increase for non-bargaining employees. ADJOURNMENT Suzy Schares City Clerk CITY OF WA I'ERLOO Council Communication City Council Meeting: 4/16/2012 Prepared: 4/11/12 Dept. Head Signature: Suzy Schares # of Attachments: SUBJECT: FY2012 Salary Schedule for Non-Bargaining Employees Submitted by: Suzy Schares, City Clerk Recommended City Council Action: Motion approving a 3.9% salary increase for non- bargaining employees effective July 1, 2012. Summary Statement: It is recommended that non-bargaining employees including department heads receive a 3.9% increase in their base salary effective July 1, 2012 for purposes of internal as well as external equity. Expenditure Required: The proposed 3.9% increase has previously been approved in the certified budget for FY13. Source of Funds: Varies according to revenue source. Background Information: All City of Waterloo employees represented by collective bargaining units will receive a 1.9% increase in their base salary effective July 1, 2012. Last year non- bargaining employees received a 1% increase to their base salary, while bargaining employees received a 3% increase. A 3.9% increase is recommended for non-bargaining employees to regain internal equity among all City employees. As a result of the lower non-bargaining salary increase for FY 2012, there were several instances where management made less than their subordinates. For instance, Capt Mohlis (exempt employee) earned less than two sergeants and two lieutenants in 2011; six bargaining police officers earned more than Lt. Cirksena and Lt. Carrier (non-bargaining employees); a bargaining Clerk made more than the Administrative Secretary (non-bargaining); only 4 cents separates Clerk II (bargaining) and Administrative Secretaries (non-bargaining) hourly wages; less than $1,000 separated the 2011 wages between a randomly picked bargaining Golf Maintenance worker and the Golf Manager. Attached are random samples of non-bargaining position salaries for comparable cities to help illustrate the external inequity that exists. *Sheryl McGovern, Library Director, advises that the Library Board has not yet approved a wage increase for non-bargaining employees. *It is suggested that the Housing Authority Coordinators, Housing Maintenance, and Housing Director receive a 5% increase due to inequity adjustments effective 7/1/2012. *Due to promotion adjustments Craig Clark was awarded $4/hr increase effective 7/1/2012. *Due to promotion adjustments Suzy Schares' salary was adjusted to that of the Human Resource Director effective 4/2/2012. r71D 2 -0 -00D 0 M > - CD R to 70 c 0 rn CD X a 0 Hourly Wage c o 06Y -0Ta ' 5. -I cn5 ? 00so n = m n0CD 1 En EA EA EA Efl EA 0 o o , a m 0 N w (n rn 0a - � m 0q 9z) En o 0 0 0 0 0 ° x -. � n v m S, o 0 0 b 0 0 0 g o m. 6 Ocr o 0 0 0 0 0 C n R W X 0i 0 5 x +0o c), 1 LSI O EA EA EA EA EA EA EA EA EA EA V) OA OC~O� r o�i A A A 0.)
