Authorization To Provide One-Time Base Equity Adjustment To Non-Temporary, Non-Union County Staff
end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize a one-time two percent (2%) base equity adjustment for all non-temporary, non-union County employees.
SUMMARY
During 2021 and 2022, the County adopted a non-union merit compensation plan and merit matrix which included a combination of base and lump sum merit payments for all non-union employees. The lump sum payments were established due to the economic uncertainty caused by the on-going COVID 19 pandemic. As a result of the lump sum payments, employee advancement through the salary ranges were somewhat stagnated. Further, County staff hired after that time received initial wage rates that were constrained by current staff wages due to internal equity considerations. To reconcile the impact of the lump sum payments in 2021 and 2022, the Human Resources Director recommends a one-time two percent (2%) base increase for all non-temporary, non-union County employees employed as of the first pay period in January 2025.
