Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: Each year, the Department of Human Resources recommends revisions to the Personnel Resolution Covering Unrepresented Officers and Employees, (Unrep Reso), the citywide salary schedule to reflect previously negotiated changes in salary or changes required by law, and the Employer-Employee Relations Policy (EERP) to show classification additions, deletions, or modifications. The provisions of the Unrep Reso apply to Executive Management, Mayor/Council Support staff, Executive Management Support staff, and non-career staff.
The only substantial change in the proposed Unrep Reso is a reduction in the administrative time off for Executive Management Support staff to reflect the same level of benefit as similarly situated SCXEA-represented classifications, and a one-time payment of $3,000 if they remain employed in those classifications until July 1, 2020.
The specific changes to the Unrep Reso are presented in two versions, a red-lined included as Attachment 1, and a clean copy of the Unrep Reso is included as Exhibit A to the Resolution.
The proposed EERP amendments are necessary to document newly created classifications. The specific changes to the EERP are presented in two versions, a red-lined version included as Attachment 2, and a clean copy of the revised EERP included as Exhibit B to the Resolution.
The California Code of Regulations requires that the City Council adopt the City’s salary schedules at a public meeting (2 CCR § 570.5). This obligation arises whenever salary ranges are changed, to ensure that salary rates are transparent and publicly available. These publicly adopted rates are used by California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) to determine the appropriate compensation earnable for each City employee when calculating their pension benefit.
The specific changes to the City’s Salary Schedule are presented in two versions, a red-lined version showing only changes to the Salary Schedule as Attachment 3, and a clean copy of the City’s complete Salary Schedule included as Exhibit C to the Resolution.
The following classifications have been established or revised salaries were set or negotiated based on the newly created or revised classifications:
