Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council approve by resolution the proposed salary range adjustment for Part-Time Recreation Leader II positions due to the mandated increase in the State of California’s minimum wage which mandates an increase in the Part-Time Recreation Leader I salary schedule.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Adjusting Recreation Leader II salary schedule to maintain the appropriate separation between the Recreation Leader I and Recreation Leader II positions, results in an estimated cost increase of $16,200 for FY2015-2016.
BACKGROUND:
Effective January 1, 2016, the State of California raised the minimum wage to $10.00/hour. The only active part-time position that falls below the $10.00/hour is the Recreation Leader I position. By adjusting the Recreation Leader I position’s salary schedule, it impacts the Recreation Leader II salary schedule. The last minimum wage increase was July 1, 2014 when the Council approved and adjusted the Recreation Leader I and Recreation Leader II salary schedules.
DISCUSSION:
The City is required to pay all positions the legal minimum wage. The only active part-time position below $10.00/hour minimum wage is the Recreation Leader I position. Staff is recommending a revised salary schedule for the Recreation Leader II position as the positions are in a related classification series.
The current salary schedules for the Recreation Leader I/II series are as follows:
Recreation Leader I
Step A - $9.00 Step B - $9.45 Step C - $9.92
Recreation Leader II
Step A - $10.42 Step B - $10.94 Step C - $11.49
With the mandatory $10.00/hr. minimum wage increase the Recreation Leader I salary schedule changed to:
Recreation Leader I
Step A - $10.00 Step B - $10.50 Step C - $11.03
The recommended salary schedule for the Recreation Leader II position is as follows:
Recreation Leader II
Step A - $11.58 Step B - $12.16 Step C - $12.77
The proposed adjustments maintain a 5% difference between each step of the Part-Time Recreation Leader I salary schedule, between the top step of Part-Time Recreation Leader I and bottom step of Part-Time Recreation Leader II salary schedules, and a 5% difference between each step of the Part-Time Recreation Leader II salary schedule.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the salary schedule adjustment for the Recreation Leader II positions. The State of California minimum wage increase changed the Recreation Leader I salary schedule. This change impacts the Recreation Leader II salary schedule if there is to be consistent differences between the two ranges for Recreation Leader I and Recreation Leader II. In order to keep the Recreation Leader classification series salary consistent, the Recreation Leader II salary schedule should be adjusted accordingly.
