Summary Explanation/Background
THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES DEPARTMENT AND THE HUMAN RESOURCES DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.
Motion A of this item seeks approval of the Unrepresented Pay Plan and Compensation Policy for Fiscal Year 2025 (Plan) (Exhibit 1). The proposed Plan includes a 3% base salary increase and a $2,600 increase in base pay within the salary range, for unrepresented employees, who have received a “meets” or “exceeds” overall expectations on their most recent evaluation. This salary increase and 3% range extension is in response to current economic conditions in the market.
Motion B seeks approval of classification actions necessary to proactively maintain Broward County's Classification and Pay Plans (Exhibit 2). This item includes the elimination of unused job classifications, title changes, and salary range reallocations. These periodic adjustments reflect the active management of the County’s classification system and provide timely resolution for affected agencies. These adjustments are effective on October 13, 2024. These actions do not increase the personnel cap and are funded in the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
Motion C extends the base salary increase granted to unrepresented employees for Fiscal Year 2025 to the three positions that report to the Board of County Commissioners (County Administrator, County Attorney, and County Auditor), including the approval of any necessary contractual modifications for Fiscal Year 2025.
Motion D authorizes the County Administrator to take the necessary administrative and budgetary actions to implement these increases and changes in Motions A, B, and C.
