Board to move small pay-equity correction for building cleaners to County Board
Summary
County facilities director reported five building-cleaner employees missed a probationary step increase after an IBEW wage class increase; remedying the inequity would cost $6,864 and the item will go to the County Board for approval.
Facilities and Properties Director Kerin Peterson told commissioners that following a negotiated wage increase through the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), five existing employees received the class increase but were not eligible for a step increase upon completing probation. As a result, newer hires could surpass those employees in pay. Peterson said the total cost to move the affected employees from step one to step two would be $6,864 and asked the board to address the discrepancy to prevent a pay gap.
Chair Christa Yoakum emphasized addressing the issue promptly and confirmed the item would proceed to the County Board for formal approval. The board did not vote on the pay adjustment during the staff meeting but scheduled the item for action at an upcoming County Board meeting.
