Human Resources Department MEMORANDUM To: Board of County Commissioners John Day, County Manager From: Don Cummings, HR Director Date: February 14, 200~ Subject: Compensation Review At the Board work session on February 7, 2005 additional information was requested regarding the Compensation Review completed by Springsted Incorporated. An additional change and a summary of implementation cost follow. Additional Chanae Springsted recommended reclassifying the Individual Personal Property Supervisor, Grade 66, position to a Grade 70. Local review of the duties and responsibilities of the position and the internal relationships within the Tax Administration Department determined that reclassification to a Grade 68 would be more appropriate. Implementation Cost 1. Of the County's 217 classifications, 78 (35.9%) were recommended for upgrades and 6 (2.8%) for downgrades. The County has 892 positions. Based on the recommendations 268 (30.0%) would be upgraded and 7 (0.8%) downgraded. 2. The Personnel Ordinance provides for the greater of an entry level or 5% salary increase for a change to a higher salary grade. The 10% maximum annual increase would apply in some instances. To a lower grade, an employee normally retains their current pay. 3. The recommendations result in 17 employees reaching the 10% annual maximum increase and 50 moving into the entry level of the new grade, exceeding the maximum. The classification reviews in the Transportation Department accounts for 26 of these and custodial staffing for 19. The remaining five are in various departments. 4. The FY 2005 Budget includes $250,000 for implementation of the Compensation Review recommendations. If implemented on February 21,2005 the cost would be $130,608. The annualized cost is $357,454. (}.~
