Compensation

Sec. 8.9      Compensation Policy - Position Classifications and Salary Ranges.  This section sets forth the basic policies of the District.  However, notwithstanding any policy set forth herein, the Board of Directors reserves the right and power to determine salary schedules and compensation of all employees after meeting and conferring with recognized employee associations and employee representatives.

 

 

                     It has been determined to be in the best interest of the Valley Center Municipal Water District to compensate its employees at salaries competitive with individuals being paid for comparable duties and responsibilities in public agencies providing similar services within the District's employment area, which is defined as San Diego and Southwestern Riverside Counties.  Competitive compensation shall  be deemed to be salary rates at 100%-105% of the mean salary paid for comparable duties and responsibilities in the employment area.  Variance from this may be justified by circumstances and conditions specific to the Valley Center Municipal Water District.

 

 

                     (a)    Position Classifications and Salary Ranges.  The District shall review and evaluate the position classifications existing within the District as negotiated.  Based on comparative studies made in the District's employment area, the General Manager may recommend to the Board of Directors that adjustments to all or any part of the salary ranges be made.

 

 

                     (b)    Implementation of Findings.  If, upon the review and evaluation of the position classifications by the District or by outside consultants, employees are found:

 

 

                                       (1)    to be compensated below the bottom of the recommended and adopted salary range for their respective position(s), then the affected employee(s) may receive a salary range adjustment increase effective with the adoption of the revised salary range, and such increase shall have no effect on subsequent meritorious salary consideration, or

 

 

                                       (2)    to be compensated above the top of the recommended range for their respective position(s), then subject employee(s) shall be deemed to be "above range", and shall retain the current pay level and qualification for annual cost of living increases, if awarded, as long as the incumbent employee(s) retains the present classification.  Employees subsequently hired into the same classification shall be compensated within the salary range in effect at the time of hire.

 

 

                           (c)     Classification and Compensation Plan.  Simultaneous with submission of the fiscal year budget, a list of all positions required for the coming year, along with the recommended salary range for each position, are submitted.  The Board, after full consideration of the recommendations, shall adopt a classification and compensation plan.
