2015 Classification and Compensation Study. Effective the first full pay period occurring on or after January 1, 2016, the Compensation Study will be implemented as follows: The Human Resource Department will assign the appropriate classification to each position in the county based on the job descriptions submitted by the Employing Official. The County Commissioners will have final approval to adopt the proposed classification and compensation changes. Employees and/or Employing Officials who believe a position is not properly classified may request review from the Director of Human Resources. Each employee will be placed into the pay grade for the new classification for their job title at the salary closest, but not less than, the employee’s current salary. If an annual wage increase is approved by the Board of County Commissioners for 2016 each employee will be placed into the new classification at the new pay grade and step prior to the annual increase taking affect. If the employee’s current pay rate is below the pay grade, the employee will be placed at the first step of the new pay grade. If the employee’s pay rate is above the new pay grade, the employee’s pay will be frozen at their current salary until the new classification catches up to the employee’s pay rate. The employee will then be placed at the top step of the new pay grade. If the employee’s current pay rate is below the mid-point (Step 7) of the new pay grade, the employee will receive a two (2) step increase (5%), effective on the employee’s anniversary date in the position. If the employee’s current pay rate is at step 7 or above, the employee will receive a one step increase (2.5%), effective on the employee’s anniversary date in the position. Step increases will be received annually until the top step is reached, provided, the employee achieves the minimum performance score on their evaluation that entitles them to the step increase pursuant to the County evaluation system.
