The individual asked for compensation commensurate with <br />the higher classification duties. At a past work session staff presented the <br />Council with a draft policy for compensating employees working in higher <br />classification positions. <br /> <br />After much discussion, the Council asked that the following changes be made to <br />the policy: <br /> <br />• Creation of separate policies: <br />1. Compensation for individuals working in higher classification <br />positions on a long term basis (at least two months) <br />2. Merit pay <br />• Performance evaluation should be based on the current performance <br />evaluation form and the additional duties assigned <br />• Compensation for performing duties of a higher classification should be on <br />a sliding scale ranging from 1% to 10%. <br /> <br />The draft policy below is a reflection of the Council’s comments as they relate to <br />compensation for individuals working in higher classification positions. A draft <br />merit pay policy will be presented to the Council at a future meeting. <br /> <br />Statement of Policy and Understanding <br /> <br />1. Compensation for working in a higher classification position may be <br />provided to regular full- and part-time employees for the adequate <br />performance of duties normally performed by an employee of higher <br />classification. <br /> <br />2. The performance of higher classification duties must encompass at least <br />75% of the full range of responsibilities of the higher classification position <br />for at least two consecutive months.
