SALARY ADMINISTRATION PLAN NON-UNION EMPLOYEES
11 INTRODUCTION
The Salary Administration Plan is intended to establish a compensation
program which is bath internally equitable and competitive with the
prevailing wages paid within Oak Brook's Labor Market Area. It is also
based on a system of performance evaluations designed to recognize and
reward employees whose performance meets or exceeds standards established
at the department level as well as standards which apply generally to j
employees of the Village of Oak Brook.
t
For the purpose of maintaining wage levels commensurate with the annual
rate of inflation, the adjustments to the Salary Plan are normally
computed annually based on the percent change in the Consumer Price Index
for the Chicago-Gary-Lake Co. region as published by the U. S. Department
of Labor. The "all items" index change at September 30th of each year is
applied to the minimums and maximums for all pay grades, with increases {
effective January 1st of the subsequent year. The Village Board may, in
its discretion, authorize adjustments to the Salary Plan based on other
factors (see Section II.C. below) . {
The Village of Oak Brook's Salary Administration Plan, as well as the
fringe benefits applicable to employees shall be further monitored every
three years. An independent compensation consultant shall be retained by
the Village to compare the compensation of Village of Oak Brook positions
with similar positions in the region, and to compare the fringe benefits
offered to Village of Oak Brook employees with fringe benefits available ;
to other employees of the region. The consultant was retained in 1994
and will be retained every three years thereafter.
The independent consultant will submit a report to the Board of Trustees
including recommendations for modifications in the Salary Plan and/or the I
fringe benefits package.
i
II. GUIDELINES
The following guidelines shall apply to review and modification of the
Salary Plan: j
A. Review and Adjustment of Plan - The change in the Consumer Price
Index for "all items applicable to the Chicago-Gary-Lake Co. region
as published for September 30th of each year by the U. S. Department
of Labor will normally be used to adjust the Plan annually.
B. Range Spread Within Each Pay Grade - Grades 1 through 12 shall have a
35% spread from entrance to maximum salary paid. Grades 13 and 14
include department heads and shall have a 45% spread.
C. Other Adjustments to the Salary Plan - The Salary Plan may, in the
Approved 5-23-45 EXHIBIT B Page 1 of 6
Effective 5-23-95

AT 1V <.
discretion of the Village Board and upon the recommendation of the
Village Manager, be adjusted based on the evaluations and
recommendations of an independent compensation consultant engaged by
the Village cf Oak Brook, or based on other factors as deemed
appropriate by the Board.
III. STEPS
1. Obtain the September 30th Consumer Price Index published by the U. S.
Department of Labor and calculate the maximums for all grades based
on the index change for "all items" for the Chicago-Gary-Lake Co.
region.
2. Calculate the minimum for each grade accordingly.
3. Determine merit adjustment guidelines, which shall be designed to
permit an employee performing at a "Meets Standards" level to
progress through the salary range in approximately a seven year
period. Employees performing at "Above Standards" or "Excellent"
. should progress through the range within a six or five year period,
respectively.
IV. MAINTENANCE
The Village Manager shall be responsible for reviewing the data
supporting the annual grade adjustment, as well as the performance salary
guidelines, and submitting the revised Salary Plan to the Board of
Trustees for its approval.
The Village Manager shall also be responsible for engaging an independent
compensation consultant once every three years, and forwarding the study,
evaluations, and recommendations to the Village Board for its
consideration.
V. PROCEDURES
A. Starting Rate at Initial Employment: Original appointments to any
position will normally be made at the entrance rate. Upon
recommendation of the department head, the Village Manager may
approve initial compensation at a rate higher than the minimum rate
in the pay range for the class, provided that any such acceptance is
based on the outstanding and unusual character of the employee's
experience and ability over and above the minimum qualifications
required for that position.
B. Merit adjustments will be determined based upon the employee's
performance as described in the Employee Performance Appraisal and
the recommendation of the employee's department heed, with review and
approval by the Village Manager. Merit ad;ustma-t. s2a,�:1;. occur
within the parameters of the Salary Plan and in -i- a--e at shall it
exceed the maximum of the range for the position.

u
O. Salary Adjustment Schedule: It is the policy of the Village of Oak
Brook that salary adjustments shall be made in a timely and orderly
manner. Frequency of salary adjustments are based upon each
employee's performance and the employee's position within the
applicable grade.
i
1. Employees are evaluated at six: month intervals for the
first two years of employment. Thereafter, evaluations
occur annually on the employee's anniversary date until the
maximum compensation for the pay grade in which the
employee's position i.s classified is reached. "Anniversary
date" is determined as follows:
(a) Generally, the anniversary date is the date of hire;
(b) For employees going from part-time to full-time
status and remaining in the same pay grade, the
anniversary date remains the date of hire as a part-
time employee; if a part-time employee moves to a
full-time position in a different pay grade, the
anniversary date shall be the date the full-time
position is assumed;
(c) For full-time employees promoted to a new grade and
new position, the date of promotion is the new
anniversary date; and
(d) Promoted/reclassified employees will be reviewed
every six (6) months for one (1) year after their
promotion or until they reach maximum compensation
for their respective pay grade.
2. once an employee has reached the maximum compensation for
the pay grade in which his/her position is classified, the
employee's anniversary date reverts to January 1, and
normal salary adjustments shall be effective as of that
date.
3. Performance appraisals shall occur at least once each year,
and may occur more frequently, if warranted. Special merit
adjustments may occur when warranted and are not bound by
the Salary Adjustment Schedule.
D. Merit Bonus: Top-of-grade full-time employees who achieve an "Above
Standards" or "Excellent" appraisal on the Employee Performance
Appraisal Report shall receive a merit bonus annually in January of
each calendar year as follows:
Above Standards Excellent
(Frequently Exceeds Standards) (Exceeds all Department Standards)
$500
Approved 5-23-95 EXHIBIT B Page 3 of 6
Effective 5-23-95
i
�I
3
Any such merit bonus shall not be considered a merit adjustment as
I.
provided in Section V.B. hereof.
I
E. Special Merit Adjustments: Department heads may recommend to the
Village Manager, and the Village Manager may approve, special salary
adjustments at intervals other than as provided in paragraph V.C.
hereof. Such special merit adjustments shall be based upon
exceptional performance far exceeding the normal standards for the
position, or exceptional service to the Village beyond the normal
scope of duties expected for the position. Special merit adjustments
shall have no effect on the schedule for normal performance
evaluations and merit adjustments. Special merit adjustments are
deemed to be extraordinary even'_s, and may be granted only after
notice to the Village Board, and an opportunity for the Board to
disapprove the action.
F. Village Manager: The Village Manager position is not included in the
Salary Plan. The salary of the Village Manager may be adjusted only
by action of the Village Board, subject to the terms of the current
employment agreement in effect between the Board and the Village
Manager.
G. Promotions: in a case where an employee is promoted from one
position to another, any increase in salary shall not be viewed as a
merit adjustment, but shall represent recognition of the additional
responsibility inherent in the new position.
H. Performance Appraisal: The objectives of a performance appraisal are
several:
1. To develop and improve performance and to maintain performance
at the highest possible level.
2. To provide for variation in compensation and incentive based as
directly as possible upon merit.
3. To assist supervisors in personnel administration and
organizational management.
It is the responsibility of the department head or supervisor
completing the Employee Appraisal Report to review the appraisal with
the employee in person. During this meeting, the evaluator is
expected to discuss the employee's performance in general and point
out to the employee, first, the areas in which the employee is
performing effectively, and, secondly, those areas where improvement
is needed. The evaluator is also expected to solicit the employee's
views on the appraisal.
I. Working Out of Classification: Any full-time employee performing
authorized work out of that employee's grade for a minimum of 14 days
shall be entitled to additional compensation during the period of
i
Approved 5-23-95 EXHIBIT B Page 4 of 6
Effective 5-23-95
II
1r
such employment. This compensation shall be 105% of the employee's
present salary, but may not be greater than that of any employee
currently working in the position in question. Further, an employee
working out of cla—ification shall be entitled to such additional
compensation only if the employee spends the preponderance of time
performing the duties of the position.
LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE - DEFINITIONS
Unsatisfactory
(Consistently Below Standards)
Performance so poor that little useful contribution is made. Such performance
calls for immediate remedial action.
It should be noted that employees performing at this leve'. should be notified
as soon as this becomes apparent. Under no circumstances should employees i_
allowed to remain in pay status until their scheduled evaluation date; they
should be advised of their substandard performance and its possible
consequences without delay.
Below standards
In one or more of the significant standards, the employee is falling "below"
standards.
Needs Improvement
Performance that would be expected during early periods on a new job as well
as during the training phase of an individual's employment. Usually, the
individual develops and moves beyond this level at the average rate set by the
supervisor or Department Head, based on the standards of performance required.
It should be used when an employee is in a training phase as well as when an
experienced employee's performance has dropped from a previous higher level.
Supervisors must set written action plans for each employee who is rated as
needs improvement in each area where the rating applies as well as timetables
and deadlines for the improvement to occur.
I
Meets Standards
(Consistently Meets Standards)
Performance meets standards set by the Department Head. This generally
applies to seasoned employees who have completed their training phase and have
accepted full responsibility for th:° completion of the duties of their
position.
The rating is not based on a co m arison of the em to ee's er€ormance with
fellow employees in the same or similar _position; it must be based solely on a
comparison of the employee's performance to the standards set by the
'j

Department and communicated to the employee.
Abova Standards
(Frequently Exceeds Standards)
Performance of this caliber will be uncommon within each Department. The
rating will apply to employee performance which exceeds all Department
standards and is represented by outstanding achievements over and above the
normal viork assigned.
Examples of the outstanding achievements must be documented and submitted with
the Performance Evaluation form with an appropriate statement as to how the
achievements favorably impacted the Department.
SxCYIlont
(Exceeds all Department Standards)
Performance of this caliber is exceedingly rare. It may occur in employees
who are unusually gifted in a particular area, or whose skills surpass all
standards set for the average employee. It may also be earned for excellent
performance in response to an unusual occurrence which would normally not
constitute an employee's regular duties and responsibilities.
Examples of the employees particular achievements must be submitted with the
Performance Evaluation form.
