Resolution accepting the Pay Equity Implementation Report.

Adoption of the attached resolution.

In 1984, the Minnesota legislature enacted the Local Government Pay Equity Act, Minnesota Statutes 471.991 to 471.999, requiring the state’s political subdivisions to establish “equitable compensation relationships” between male and female dominated job classifications of similar value (i.e. classification points). The law requires each jurisdiction to submit a Pay Equity Implementation Report to the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget every three years. The City of Mankato is required to submit the report, using compensation and employee data effective December 31, 2024. The pay equity rules require the governing body of each jurisdiction review and approve the submission of the Pay Equity Implementation Report.
 
The 2024 report for the City of Mankato is attached. Our analysis of the data shows we are in compliance with the law. Based on the required tests, the City is in compliance. In order to be in compliance, the underpayment ratio needs to be at or above 80% (currently at 103.0244%). In addition, our T-test results and degrees of freedom are within range, according to the T-test table provided. Lastly, the salary range test must be at zero, or above 80% (currently at 100%).
 
The requested action is for the Council to adopt the resolution accepting the City of Mankato’s Pay Equity Implementation Report.
