Administrative Services Committee Meeting
4/26/2016 1:10 PM
Adjusting Ranges in response to COLA Increase
Department:Human Resources
Presenter:Mike Loeser
Caption:Motion to approve new salary scale for general workforce and
SES I –III level employees based on the 2% COLA that was
approved in the 2016 Budget effective as of the paycheck of April
1, 2016.
Background:The Augusta, Georgia Commission reconvened the November 17,
2015 Commission Meeting on Tuesday, December 1, 2015 and
approved the FY 2016 Budget. The Budget included a 2% across-
the-board pay adjustment, which is the first such adjustment in
eight (8) years. The increase recognizes the need for a COLA
adjustment in order to remain competitive in the market, attract
and retain the workforce, and maintain the integrity of the pay
structure.
Analysis:Attached is a new salary structure which has been increased by
2% at each level to reflect the cost of living adjustment.
Financial Impact:Funding for the 2% adjustments were included in the 2016 budget.
Alternatives:Failure to adjust the ranges would result in some employees being
paid below the market range.
Recommendation:Approve the motion as presented.
