Page 7 of 14
a)
Recommend receipt of report on the proposed amendments to Board Policy 201 (Personnel Policies for Unrepresented Employees) concerning the implementation of a merit pay structure for Unrepresented employees (Report 13-159b); and
RECOMMEND RECEIPT
Human Resources Manager Due Le presented the staff report, noting that under the proposed structure, there would be no automatic increases and employees who do a "job well done" would typically receive a performance-based increase of 2%. Further, an employee near the beginning of the salary range might receive a slightly larger increase while someone near the maximum would receive a lower increase. In addition, employees who are at the maximum of the pay range may receive a lump sum payment. Several members of the Committee expressed their support for a merit pay system; however, concerns about clarity arose as to the implementation and guidelines of the pay structure and more details about the appeal process were requested. In addition, the criteria for an increase needed to be set out more clearly so employees would have a sense that the process is objective. The following alternatives were also introduced: Director Ortiz suggested an alternative structure whereby employees would receive some sort of minimal step level increase that was low and add a percentage based on merit. Chair Davis suggested that staff consider having just one level above "job well done" instead oftwo. Chair Davis suggested that a certain percentage increase be guaranteed for everyone, except those who do not meet standards, and provide for a flat lump sum payment as the merit increase for that year which is not tied to salary. With regard to performance evaluations, concerns were raised about favoritism, the need to close loopholes, grading inflation and the need to provide training to supervisors on how to conduct an evaluation. In \ addition, there needed to be more consistency among departments I i with regard to goal setting. Chair Davis suggested that supervisors be !' rated on how well they give a performance evaluation.
