CC 2015-11-24_09b Compensation_PT EmployeesMEMORANDUM TO: CITY COUNCIL FROM: DEBBIE MALICOAT, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES~ SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF COMPENSATION ADJUSTMENTS FOR PART- TIME EMPLOYEES DATE: NOVEMBER 24, 2015 RECOMMENDATION: It is recpmmended the City Council. ~dopt the attached resolution making compensation adjustments for part-time employees in compliance with minim.um wage laws. IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES: The recommended pay rate adjustme~ts are projected to cost an additional $18,600 annually, but only $9,300 for the balance of the current fiscal year, all of which is related to Recreation -Services. The budget will be amended at mid-year to reflect this increase in cost. BACKGROUND: On September 25, 2013, the California Legislature enacted legislation signed by the Governor, which raised the minimum wage from $8.00 per hour to $9.00 per hour effective July 1, 2014, and to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016. In preparation for implementation of the minimum wage increase, staff has reviewed the current salary schedule for part-time employees. ANALYSIS OF ISSU.ES: Staff recommends implementing salary schedules on the first day of payroll periods, as this provides for the most efficient implementation. In this case, the payroll period coincidentally begins on January 1, 2016, the same date as required by the minimum wage law. The largest impact of increases in minimum wage is to the Re.creation Services positions, as many of these positions are paid at or near minimum wage. The proposed salary schedule increases the minimum pay for the AM/PM Assistant I, -Facility Attendant, Sports Facility Maintenance and seasonal Student Intern positions. It also maintains the established 10% differential to those positions that are part of a series of advancements or higher level jobs. For example, the AM/PM Assistant II position increased in order to maintain 10% higher pay than the Assistant I job class, which is imp~cted by the minimum wage increase. Many of the Recreation Services programs are funded to some degree through user fees. Therefore, as the cost of the programs · rise, the City should also consider increasing the associated user. fees. The City is cur~ently engaged in a study to review all user fees and staff recommends waiting to Item 9.b. - Page 1 CITY COUNCIL PART-TIME EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION , 'NOVEMBER 24, 2015 , -,--"'PAGE 2 adjust any recreati,on fees until recommendations from the full study come before the Council.
