Re: Non -union salary adjustment
Meeting Date: June 19, 2017
BACKGROUND: As identified in the budget transmittal letter, and discussed during budget
sessions, a total compensation adjustment of approximately 2.8% was included in the budget for
non -union employees. This amount had previously been established by averaging the three labor
unions overall increase in order to maintain an equal compensation across all employees. This is
the first year we have all groups on the same percentage increase; achieved with the adoption of
the labor contracts this past year with the Kalispell Police Association and the AFSCME labor
union. The increase includes a 1.3% step increase on the market based pay matrix and a 1.5%
base adjustment.
FISCAL IMPACT: The increase for the recommended implementation is approximately
$80,000. This amount has been included in the preliminary FY2018 budget and is spread across
numerous funds (general, enterprise, special revenue, etc.).
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution 5819,
adopting a 1.3% step increase and a 1.5% base adjustment to the previously adopted pay matrix.
