City expects final salary-study report in October after preliminary findings prompt adjustments
Summary
Human resources reported a preliminary salary study from Gallagher that condenses pay ranges from 37 to 16 and places most benchmarked jobs within 15% of market median; five positions were identified as low and will be recommended for range adjustments in the final report due by the end of the month.
The city's Human Resources director told council Sept. 15 that a preliminary salary study from consultant Gallagher has been received and a final report is expected by the end of the month, with a presentation planned for the first October meeting.
The director said the study established a new salary structure that collapses the existing 37 pay ranges to 16 ranges with 13 steps (0–12). "All of the jobs that we benchmarked are earning within 15% of the market median," the director said, and the final report will identify a roadmap and methodology for moving employees through the new steps. The director added that five positions were identified as sufficiently low to warrant movement to a higher range.
Council also raised a separate budget question about training funds. The Human Resources director said a budget appropriation error left training dollars unappropriated in two accounts; she has worked with finance to move funds and said she will provide council with a list of trainings already booked and planned through the end of the year.
Ending: The final Gallagher report is expected in late September or by Oct. 10 (per a separate assurance by the consultant to staff); HR will present the findings and a proposed implementation plan at the first October council meeting.
