REPORT TO COUNCIL
SUBJECT
Title
Amend the Salary Resolution to Update the Schedule of Pay to Provide Salary Increases for Pay Plan Category G (Unrepresented Classified Confidential Employees) and Align Pay Plan Category G (Unrepresented Classified Confidential Employees) with Pay Plan Category B (Sunnyvale Employees Association) With Respect to Wages
Report
BACKGROUND
Unrepresented Classified Confidential (pay plan category G) employees are not organized and do not negotiate for any changes to their wages, hours, and/or other terms and conditions of employment.
Pursuant to the existing provisions of Salary Resolution Section 1.000, pay plan category G employees currently receive the same treatment as pay plan category B (SEA) employees for purposes of benefits and leaves, except for Paid Time Off (PTO) and floating holiday as defined in Sections 3.110 and 3.310. Prior to September 2016, category G employees received the same treatment as pay plan category B employees with respect to wages. The City Council took action in September 2016 to separate category G employees from category B employees on wages (3.5% increase effective Sept. 20, 2016; 3% increase of July 2, 2017; and 1.5% increase on July 1, 2018). This report recommends aligning category G and category B employees with respect to wages and to provide wage adjustments to pay plan category G employees to achieve the goal of maintaining consistent wages between represented and unrepresented employees of similar classifications.
The City and the Sunnyvale Employees Association (SEA) entered into a tentative agreement on May 1, 2017 for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that includes wage increases for category B (SEA) employees. This successor MOU is also on the City Council agenda for May 23, 2017. The action outlined in this Report to Council provides for the same wage adjustments recommended for category B employees to be implemented for category G employees.
