19—oa INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Haggerton
Finance and Safety Committee
FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
DATE: November 12, 2014
SUBJECT: 2015 Non-Represented Wages and Benefits
BACKGROUND
In 2013 the City Council adopted Resolution No. 1796 which provides that in odd-numbered
calendar years, a Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) would be applied to the non-represented
employees wage schedule based on 90% of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton Consumer Price
Index (CPI-W)Average (June to June).
DISCUSSION
The non-represented employees did not receive a market adjustment in 2014. The CPI-W June
for the above stated period is 2.2%, whereas 90% represents 1.98%. Although there had been
some wage adjustment in 2012 and 2013, the non-represented employee wages have lagged
behind represented groups, creating salary compression at various position levels within the
organization.
Internal equity between non-represented and represented groups will continue to have an
impact on compensation. In order to mitigate salary compression continuing and the future
impacts to the budget, City Administration recommends an increase of 2.0% to base wages
keeping in alignment with represented groups.
RECOMMENDATION
The Finance and Safety Committee is being asked to consider the 2% increase to the Non-
Represented Wage Scale effective January 1, 2015, and to forward to the Committee of the
Whole meeting on November 24, for discussion, and approval at their regular meeting on
December 1, 2014.
