CCRPC delays decision on personnel-policy changes after review of compensation scenarios
Summary
The committee reviewed personnel-policy proposals tied to a compensation study, discussed three scenarios that differ by inclusion of Paid Family and Medical Leave and a 37.5-hour work week, and agreed to continue deliberation in May when absent members can participate.
The Joint Finance and Executive Committee reviewed proposed personnel-policy amendments based on a compensation study and deferred any decision until absent members could weigh in.
Executive Director Charlie Baker described three scenarios drawn from the Hickok & Boardman compensation study: a base scenario previously reviewed; a scenario that includes Paid Family and Medical Leave and a 37.5-hour reduced work week that reduced the bottom-line cost from about $120,000 to $50,000; and a variant with similar benefits but different billable-hours assumptions that reduced the bottom line to about $38,000. Baker explained that the smaller reduction in the third scenario was attributable to decreased billable hours because of increased time off.
Members discussed the importance of work-life balance and the role of benefits in staff recruitment and retention. Because two members were absent, the committee agreed to continue the policy discussion at the May meeting; redline edits in the packet will be presented then.
