1 II.1. TO: FROM: SUBJECT: The Honorable Chair and Members of the Unified Personnel Board Holly J. Schoenherr, Director of Human Resources Pay Plan Adjustments DATE: September 1, 2017 Recommendation I recommend a two percent (2%) increase to the minimum and maximum pay rates of the following pay plans effective September 30, 2017: Classified Pay Plan Fire Fighting Personnel Pay Plan Background The last adjustments to the pay rates occurred in 2015 when the minimum and maximum pay rates for the above pay plans were increased by two percent. There was no adjustment to the pay plans in One of the strategic goals of Pinellas County is to Create a Quality Workforce in a Positive, Supportive Organization. In addition, it is the mission of Human Resources to Cultivate a diverse, talented, and engaged workforce prepared to effectively serve the citizens of Pinellas County. In order to fulfill these objectives it is important to provide a competitive pay plan that is based upon market values commensurate with the skill sets needed for success. The proposed budget for FY2018 includes a 3% general increase for County employees. If general increases are approved for FY2018, those increases will be awarded the pay period beginning October 1, Implementing the pay plan adjustments on September 30, 2017, will allow us to (a) provide employees currently paid at the maximum of their pay grade with the full benefit of the general increase, and (b) award general increases based on an adjusted (higher) midpoint. Adjustment of Pay Grade Maximums: Adjusting pay grade maximums prior to a general increase will allow for some increase to base pay for employees who are currently at the maximum of their pay grades. Otherwise, the general increase for those employees would be all as a lump sum payment with no increase to base pay. Adjustment of Pay Grade Midpoints: If a general increase is approved, increases will be calculated as 3% of the midpoint of the employee s pay grade in accordance with Personnel Rules. Adjusting the pay grade midpoints prior to a general increase, therefore, will provide all employees with a slightly higher general increase than what they would have received if there were no adjustment to the pay grades.

2 Adjustment of Pay Grade Minimums: It is our intention to implement the timing of the pay grade adjustment with the general increase so that those employees at the minimum of the pay grade will receive the 3% (of the midpoint) general increase to bring their compensation slightly above the newly adjusted minimum. Note that employees will not receive a 2% pay increase to the new pay grade minimum, followed by the general increase; this would result in an increase of over five percent. The attached document has been developed to further clarify the purpose and function of these proposed processes. 2
