Subject:Reallocate salaries of two classifications in the Health Services Department
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Due to the negotiated salary increase stated above, that became effective 7/1/2015, the Accidental Release
Prevention (ARP) Engineer classification is now at higher base salary than that of the Supervising Accidental
Release Prevention Engineer. Therefore a salary reallocation is necessary to correct this compaction issues
between the ARP Engineer and the Supervising ARP Engineer classifications. Reallocating the salary of the
Supervising ARP Engineer class will result in compaction issues with the Director of Hazardous Materials
classification. Therefore, reallocating the salary plan and grade of the Director of Hazardous Materials
classification is also being requested.
To resolve the compaction issues and maintain a salary gap between these classifications, the department is
requesting a salary reallocation for the Supervising ARP Engineer classification and a salary reallocation for the
Director of Hazardous Materials Programs classification.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the salary schedule of the ARP Engineer classification will continue to have a
higher salary than that of the Supervising ARP Engineer classification and the Health Services Department will
not be able to resolve this salary compaction issue.
