2013 Non - Represented Wages and Benefits
BACKGROUND
In August 2011, an external market study was conducted for 2012 wage adjustments for
non - represented employees. This information was presented to the Finance and Safety
Committee in October, 2011 where a decision was made to table implementation until a
review by an outside compensation consultant was completed.
The results from the outside consultant review validated the analysis that was
conducted internally. This delayed the decision on wage adjustments for non -
represented employees until May 2012 with the adoption by the City Council of
Resolution No. 1769. The wage adjustment for 2012 provided for a market increase,
and a one -time COLA adjustment for a majority of the non - represented positions, to
recognize that management level positions (Director Level) had not received an
adjustment to their wages since 2009.
Generally, cost of living adjustments are presented prior to the end of even numbered
years, to become effective January 1, of the next year. Due to a request by the Council
to review positions that were +1- 5% above or below the market based upon the 2011
study, a decision was made to not present a wage adjustment for 2013 until that
process was completed.
In alignment with the intent of Council Resolution No.1537, which establishes that the
cost of living adjustment occur in odd numbered years, and is based on 90% of the CPI -
W for Seattle- Tacoma - Bremerton Area Semi - Annual Average (1st half of the calendar
year to the 1st half of the following calendar year), the proposed wage adjustment for
2013 is 2.61 %. In addition, there are no recommended changes being proposed to the
non - represented benefit schedule.
Also for information only, Attachment 1 shows the 2013 wage adjustments for non -
represented City comparators that were used in the 2011 market study, and also those
cities that were recommended for consideration by the outside consultant.
