PERSONNEL
Consultant's Proposed Merit Compensation Plan
The Committee met as a follow-up to the November 2 meeting of the Personnel
Committee. During that meeting, the consensus of the Personnel Committee was to have
the consultant's proposed pay plan reviewed by the Department Heads for feedback
purposes.
The Village Manager noted that Department Heads were provided with the comparison
sheets.(Green and Yellow Sheets from the October 16 memo) and the program was
explained to them. Examples were also provided as to how the program would impact
their workforce. In addition, the Department Heads were provided the opportunity to ask
questions to ensure that they fully understood the program.
Overall, the Department Heads were encouraged by the plan in that it resolves a long-
standing issue among their management employees. That issue is the ability for their
management staff to move through the pay range. In addition, the Department Heads
were encouraged by the fact that the program remained merit based. The merit
component is a strong management tool for motivating the workforce,.fairly
compensating management employees based upon performance, and rewarding strong
performing employees.
The Village Manager noted that decisions will need to be made by the Village Board each
year during the wage and salary budget discussion. Those annual decisions are the annual
general wage(cost of living) adjustment, and the amount of the annual performance
increase for those above 66% of the pay range (consultant recommended at 0% to 5%).
The consensus of the Personnel Committee was to recommend that the Village Board
adopt the program as presented by the consultant. The Chairman of the Committee will
issue a report to the Village Board concerning the findings and recommendations of the
Committee. The Village Board should discuss the Committee's findings in January for
budgetary considerations.
The meeting adjourned at 4:15 p.m.
