AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
December 10, 2013
SUBJECT: Position Classification, Salary Plan, and Salary Administration Policy
FROM: Blaine Wing, Assistant Village Manager
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: Personnel Salaries
RECOMMENDED MOTION: The Village Board recognizes that even during the continuation of
uncertain economic times the Village has a very dedicated,skilled,and reliable workforce. So,
therefore,after a thorough analysis and the updated compensation report,I move to approve:
1. Effective January 1,2014,update the Village's compensation plan that is both pay-for-
performance based and market driven by approving Ordinance 5-1389,An Ordinance
Approving the 2014-2015 Position Classification,Salary Plan,and Salary Administration
Policy for Employees of the Village of Oak Brook,Illinois,subject to final staff and attorney
changes,and Ordinance G-1017,An Ordinance Amending the Oak Brook Village Code to
Set Special Detail Rates for Police and Fire Services.
2. Authorize the final pro-rated equity adjustment on December 15,2014 for employees and
positions that were previously approved.
3. Effective December 15,2013,increase the hourly rate for part-time employees up to the
minimum of the revised plan.
Recent History:
After the recommendation of the Citizens Finance Advisory Committee and Village Board approval of an
employee classification and compensation study, a committee was formed to work with the consultant
and make a recommendation to the entire Village Board. The Committee members included Trustees
Wolin and Zannis, Citizen Finance Advisory Committee Member George Klein, Village Manager
Niemeyer, Finance Director Dangles, Community Development Director Kallien, Library Director
Madorin, and myself (Blaine Wing, Assistant Village Manager), with the assistance of now former
Human Resources Generalist Donahue.
During 2011 and 2012 the Committee worked on a revised compensation plan and benefits analysis with
Public Sector Personnel Consultants (PSPC). After job descriptions were updated and provided to PSPC,
position analysis questionnaires (PAQs) —which summarize the scope and complexity of the duties and
responsibilities of a position — were completed, onsite interviews and observations were concluded,
compensation and benefits surveys (both to public and private entities) were conducted, as well as
regional and national survey data were reviewed and utilized. Any employee or Department Director who
had a concern, then had an opportunity via a clarification and concern process to meet with the Village's
Human Resources staff and eventually the Village Manager.
Results and Recommendations:
The result of above effort is contained in the updated documents (which will be emailed to Trustees
shortly) and will be highlighted on Tuesday via a brief PowerPoint presentation. Since the updated
"Position Classification, Salary Plan and Salary Policy" is a large document, I do want to highlight a few
KEY points:
1. The updated plan and policy saves the Village money vs.the Village's previous(COLA&Merit)
structure. This is possible because the Village's previous plan awarded an annual Cost of Living
Adjustment as well as Merit Increases. (This is better than a step plan,but no longer is the most
effective method.) The updated plan breaks away from the old COLA&Merit compensation
model and focuses directly on paying for performance and adjusting based on the demand of the
market.
2. The plan that was approved last year was in the works for a year and was reviewed,modified, and
was supported by the Ad-Hoc Compensation Committee. Several key items including the salary
range spread,performance increase guide,bonus structure and performance appraisal form,were
all adjusted in order to reduce the fiscal impact going forward. It is this plan that is being updated
and will be email to Trustees shortly.
3. The plan and it's update is market-driven plan. Meaning instead of simply giving a COLA
increase,the Village will perform a comparison of both the private and public sector employers
with whom the Village competes for employees and calculate that versus the pay range Midpoint.
If the marketplace has the same demand for the each job class as the previous year,there will be
no market adjustment made to the salary range.
In addition to the updated Position Classification, Salary Plan and Salary Policy document,the Village's
compensation consultants have updated the survey data and are in the process of finalizing their report.
As soon as I have the report, I will email it to the Trustees.
