Fishers council approves classification changes in 2025 salary ordinance for health department roles
Summary
The council approved an amendment to the 2025 salary ordinance to reclassify three health department positions as exempt (salaried) under the Fair Labor Standards Act; staff said the change does not alter salary grades and is already budgeted.
The Fishers City Council on Dec. 16 approved an amendment to the 2025 salary ordinance to reclassify several health department positions as exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Ethan Lee, director of human resources, told the council the proposal would reclassify the health educator, social worker and operations and administration manager positions as exempt (salaried). Lee said the changes do not change salary grades and are already included in the 2025 payroll budget.
Councilor Pete Peterson moved to suspend the rules and approve the item on first reading; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Council later approved the ordinance motion on the record.
Lee said staff reclassifications align job duties with administrative and professional functions required of those roles. No additional budget appropriation was required, he said.
