Common use of GENERAL WAGES AND COMPENSATION Clause in Contracts

GENERAL WAGES AND COMPENSATION. The City embraces the succession planning model and values promotion from within. The City recognizes that this model works best when the salary ranges and total compensation align appropriately. Due to the fact that Police Sergeants are eligible to receive both overtime and a variety of specialty pays, and Police Lieutenants and Captains are limited in these areas, the current alignment is not optimal. Thus, the viability of the succession plan model is compromised. The City recognizes that there is a compaction issue between the Lieutenants and Sergeants when considering the various special pay differentials that are applied to the Sergeant pay. The City agrees to utilize the expertise of a classification and compensation consultant to conduct a total compensation survey of the Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain job classes with comparable agencies. The City commits to complete the study and for staff to recommend an implementation plan to City Council by June 30, 2017. If adjustments are warranted, SRPMMA positions will be prioritized as funds are available.
