Time Constraints:
Implementation of pay range changes is targeted for January 1, 2021. Approval in 2020 will allow HR and Payroll staff time to complete the required analysis, processing, and implementation of the new pay ranges.
ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
No pay plan changes/COLA adjustments would be made, resulting in union groups filing unfair labor practices (ULPs) for failure to negotiate changes in working conditions (pay), and a loss of market wage competitiveness and potential impact to employee retention, especially for non-represented employees. Pay plan changes should be implemented in accordance with the union contracts and any reductions identified should be negotiated after the fact, with non-represented employees being treated similarly.
