Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 18-07 amending the Cochise County Compensation Plan.
Background:
On March 13, 2018, Cochise County adopted Resolution 18-02, which established a new County Compensation Plan. Upon implementation of the plan, managers identified one provision of the policy, "Statement of Policy" section, Item E, that prevents Department Directors and Elected Officials from making appropriate market-based salary adjustments in some cases. This has the potential to impact employees in all salary bands, especially those whose salaries are furthest from market.
The current plan limits employee compensation adjustments to 10% in a rolling twelve (12) month period. Because some employees are still well below their market, it is our recommendation that compensation adjustments below the identified market median not be subject to an annual percentage limit. In addition, compensation adjustments above market median are recommended to be capped at 5% per rolling twelve(12) month period. No other changes to the compensation plan are proposed by this action.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
The Human Resources Department will publish the amended Cochise County Compensation Plan and educate departments and employees on the components of the new policy.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Continue with the existing compensation plan, with limited ability to address employee compensation that is significantly below market.
