Title
Non-Union Wages
History
There are 64 full-time non-union Village employees. Since 2010, non-union cost-of-living increases have been: 0% (plus 5 furlough days), 1.5% and 1.5%. In addition, since 2009, non-union employees began participating in the village’s consumer driven health benefit strategy.
Staff proposes a 2.0% COLA increase effective May 1, 2013 for non-union staff as well as a $1,500 healthcare equalizer payable at the same time as the COLA increase. Per the IBEW collective bargaining agreement, the six (6) employees in this group are eligible for the same healthcare equalizer provided to non-union employees. Please note that the healthcare equalizer will not be added to the salary base.
Financial Impact
Funds for both the COLAs and healthcare equalizer are available within the FY 2013 budget.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve authorizing a 2.0% cost-of-living adjustment for all full-time non-union (non-executive) personnel effective May 1, 2013;
And
Approve authorizing a health care adjustment incentive of $1,500 per employee for the non-union and IBEW groups to be paid on or about May 10, 2013.
