REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Adopt a Resolution Amending the City's Salary Resolution, Schedule of Pay and Classification Plan to add the Classification of Senior Human Resources Analyst
Report
BACKGROUND
This report recommends amending the Classification Plan and the City’s Salary Resolution to update the schedule of pay to reestablish the classification of Senior Human Resources Analyst. With the reestablishment of the Senior Human Resources Analyst, the City’s Salary Resolution requires a modification to include the classification in section 4.00 Overtime Pay - Who is Entitled.
EXISTING POLICY
Section 1103, entitled Classification, of the City Charter states that additions or changes to the classification plan may be adopted from time to time by the City Council upon the recommendation of the City Manager.
Council Policy 7.3.1 Legislative Management - Goals and Policies, Goal 7.3D: Maintain a quality work force, consistent with state and federal laws, City Charter, and adopted policies in order to assure that City services are provided in an effective, efficient, and high-quality manner.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” with the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
DISCUSSION
With approval from the Office of the City Manager, the Department of Human Resources is requesting to reestablish the Senior Human Resources Analyst classification on the City’s classification plan. This classification will be the subject matter expert for the Human Resources functions of the City’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application.
The classification will be responsible for developing and maintaining system configuration and data structures; developing reports, queries, and dashboards for use by users; planning and leading the testing and implementation tasks of ongoing system releases and updates, including documentation; providing application and business expertise to support end users across all departments for the applicable modules; and developing, coordinating, and maintaining business process, training, and system configuration documentation.
The addition of the Senior Human Resources Analyst classification will require Section 4.000 of the Salary Resolution to be revised to indicate the position is designated as exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
4.000 Overtime Pay - Who Is Entitled
All employees of the City shall be entitled to overtime pay, except those in Management positions in Categories D, E, F, K, M, and the following classifications in Category G, which are hereby designated as exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Category G Classifications:

The Senior Human Resources Analyst classification is designated as confidential and is not represented by a bargaining unit.
FISCAL IMPACT
City Council approved FY 2023/24 Budget Modification No. 8 (RTC No. 23-0955 on 12/12/2023) that funded five term-limited positions to a new project supporting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) stabilization and “after go-live”
support. This funding included an allocation for a term-limited Principal Human Resources Analyst, which is greater than the estimated cost of the Senior Human Resources Analyst and allows Project 836730 - ERP Stabilization and Support to fully cover the cost.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Council meeting agenda on the City's official-notice bulletin board at City Hall, at the Sunnyvale Public Library and in the Department of Public Safety Lobby. In addition, the agenda and this report are available at the NOVA Workforce Services reception desk located on the first floor of City Hall at 456 W. Olive Avenue (during normal business hours), and on the City's website.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution amending Resolution Nos. 143-77 and 1151-22 to add the new Classification of Senior Human Resources Analyst and amend the City’s Salary Resolution and Schedule of Pay to include the Classification.
