RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE 2019 NON-REPRESENTED EMPLOYEES’ SALARIES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2019

Background: In accordance with §13.29 of the Personnel Ordinance, the Personnel Committee in conjunction with the Finance Committee, “shall conduct an annual wage and salary review and make specific recommendations for changes in pay rates, fringe benefits, and other conditions of employment to the county board. Any across-the-board adjustments to the compensation plan shall be provided to all employees, including those serving an introductory period, regardless of their performance level. To the extent feasible, the personnel committee's annual salary increase for non-represented employees shall be at least the average increase for the settled contracts. All increase approvals shall, to the extent feasible, be on a timely basis in conjunction with the annual budget cycle.” The Personnel and Finance Committees have reviewed cost of living increases in the surrounding areas, Social Security, the Department of Revenue Consumer Price Index, and internal settlements and believe it to be in the best interest of Sauk County to review the Sauk County Classification and Compensation Plan in coordination with the 2019 Budget planning cycle.
