There are four . <br />tests for compliance with the State of Minnesota Local Govemment Pay Equity Act. Following are the tests and the <br />results: <br />1. Completeness and Accuracy Test: The City will pass this test if the report is submitted electronically by January <br />31, 2010. Springsted will submit the report for the City upon approval of the report by the City Council. <br />2. Statistical Analysis Test: To pass this test the City must have at least 6 or more male classes and at least one <br />class with an established salary range and an underpayment ratio of 80 or more. The City's underpayment ratio <br />is 81.1, which is above the established standard, therefore the City would be found in- compliance with this test. <br />3. Salary Range Test: For organizations with established salary ranges for positions, this measures whether male <br />classes are reaching the top of their salary range faster than female classes. This result must either be 0 or <br />above 80 to be found in compliance. The results of the salary range test for the City is 84.85, which is above the <br />established standard and indicates that the City would also pass this test. <br />4. Exceptional Service Pay Test: This test analyzes whether there is a larger percentage of male classes receiving <br />longevity or performance pay than female classes. For this test the result must either be 0 if less than 25% of <br />male classes receive exceptional service pay or be above 80. As none of the City's employees are eligible for <br />exceptional service pay, the result is 0 and indicates that the City would pass this test. <br />Please review the enclosed information and if there are no changes please have the report reviewed and approved <br />by the City Council prior to January 31, 2010. Springsted will submit the report to the Department of Management <br />and Budget upon notification of approval by the City Council. <br />Please let me know if you have any questions or concems. <br />Sincerely, <br />enn Q'fntonsea <br />Ann Antonsen, Vice President <br />Consultant <br />Public Sector Advisors <br />
