• • <br />SALARY COMPENSATION PLAN <br />• PAGE 2 <br />METHODOLOGY FOR CREATION OF THE PLAN (cont.) <br />and Pasadena have been selected for purposes of obtain- <br />ing a salary average for each position classification. <br />Care has been taken to compare, not only job title, but <br />responsibilities and duties of positions in each city <br />in comparison to La Porte, to insure a fair salary average <br />for positions of equal content and difficulty. <br />3.' Salary appropriations of comparable positions in our many <br />area industries. Salaries and benefits in industry are <br />generally higher and, although we have not used industrial <br />wages in this study, we feel the City of La Porte should <br />recognize their existence and that they are an important <br />impact in hiring and retaining quality personnel. <br />• <br />IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE <br />To implement the salary compensation plan it is essential that all <br />employees be moved into the plan in a manner through which all <br />employees receive an increase in their salaries. The procedures <br />chosen for implementation of the salary compensation plan are: <br />1. An employee whose present salary is below the minimum <br />step of the pay range recommended for his or her position <br />would have their salary increased to the first step of the <br />pay range. After six months, that employee will be granted <br />a step increase. <br />2. An employee whose present salary falls exactly on a step <br />within the recommended range for his or her position will <br />be granted a step increase to the next highest step. <br />3. An employee whose salary falls between steps on the recom- <br />mended range for his or her position would have their salary <br />increased to the salary step immediately above their present <br />salary. <br />4. An employee whose present salary falls above the maximum <br />step of the salary range recommended for his or her position <br />would receive no change in pay. <br />After initial implementation, the City of La Porte's salary compen- <br />sation plan shall be administered in accordance with the rules set <br />forth in Chapter 7 of the City of La Porte Personnel Policy. <br />• <br />
