~~ <br />r: <br />Consent 7 <br />2/12/03 <br />Addendum <br />ITEM: Approval of the 2002 Pay Equity Report <br />SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: The State of Minnesota's Department of Employee Relations (DOER) <br />requires local units of government to comply with the Pay Equity Act by submitting a <br />report every three years. The Pay Equity Act requires cities to list each part-time or full- <br />time employee's class title, the number of employees by gender in each class, and the <br />work value points of each class. Minimum and maximum salaries are also reported, with <br />the number of years that employee class takes to reach the highest "step" if a step plan is <br />utilized (Falcon Heights does utilize a step plan). <br />Pay Equity is a method of eliminating discrimination against women who are paid less <br />than men for jobs requiring comparable levels of expertise. This goes beyond the familiar <br />idea of "equal pay for equal work" where men and women with the same jobs must be <br />paid equally. <br />The report was filed with the State on January 31, 2002. The DOER will review the <br />reports received for 2002 over the next year, and will then report back to the city <br />regarding compliance. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />2002 Pay Equity Report <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />Approval of the 2002 Pay Equity Report as submitted <br />• <br />
