Resolution No. 1271
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF TUKWILA, WASHINGTON, ESTABLISHING A
COMPENSATION POLICY FOR THE CITY OF
TUKWILA AND REPEALING RESOLUTION NO. 999.
WHEREAS, the Tukwila City Council finds it necessary and desirable to establish
a compensation policy to guide the development and application of the City's salary
and benefit plans, and
WHEREAS, the City Council has considered various compensation and benefit
policies,
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TUKWILA,
WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. Intent of System. The classification and compensation system of the City
should encourage the selection and reasonable retention of qualified and productive
employees in order to best serve the City.
2. Competitive Position. The City should maintain a competitive position and
ability to select and retain a competent, qualified and productive work force. The City's
compensation system should reflect average compensation among the various
employment markets in which the City competes for qualified labor.
3. Employment. Salary ranges shall be periodically compared and established
based on the geographic area from which each position is recruited. Positions shall be
recruited from the local to the national base, depending on the level of position being
recruited and on the availability and caliber of potential recruits in the local, regional or
national area.
4. Salary Classification Salary classifications shall be based on a total
compensation approach. The City shall develop and maintain a point factoring method
of job evaluation and compensation. Each City position shall be carefully described
and measured against predetermined factors to ensure internal equity, with prevailing
or market wages acting to ensure external equity. Each factor for comparison under the
point factoring method shall be defined and weighted according to its relative worth to
the City and in consonance with the City's mission, goals and objectives. Market wages
will be determined in relationship to similarly valued jobs in competitive employment
markets.
5. Salary and Benefit Mix. A standard ratio, based on Tukwila's historical data,
should be maintained between fringe benefits and base salary.
