Time Constraints:
Employees under this contract are currently being paid at 2021 rates. It would be beneficial to have the 2022 pay rates established earlier in 2022, to avoid excessive retroactive pay back to January 1, 2022.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
Additional negotiations would be required. The longer the delay, the more complex the retroactive adjustments to employees’ pay due to various pay actions that would occur and need to factor into the retro pay. (For example: overtime, paid leave, merit increases, etc.) This will lead to a longer wait time for pay increases and could lead to a greater chance of payroll errors, both of which always has a negative impact on morale for all employees involved.
