Action to Approve Various Revisions to the As-Needed Salary Plan

Report
COUNCIL PILLAR
Manage Strategically Our Workforce Capacity and Resources

BACKGROUND
California Code Regulations Section 570.5 governs and requires the adoption of updated publicly available salary schedules or salary plan by the governing body. The proposed Council action satisfies these applicable requirements.

The As-Needed Salary Plan has been modified to reflect salary range revisions in order to address compaction within the classification and between higher and lower levels in a classification series.

The As-Needed Salary Plan is recommended to be modified as follows, effective May 1, 2022:

* Laborer (Job Code 502) - with an hourly range of $16.40 - $24.85,
* Nutrition Meal Server (Job Code 608) - with an hourly range of $16.40 - $20.81,
* Nutri...
