RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council adopt a resolution approving a revised salary schedule for City employees effective January 1, 2016.
BACKGROUND
On Sept. 25, 2013, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law Assembly Bill 10 which increased California's minimum wage from $8 to $10 per hour over a two year period. California's minimum wage increased from $8 to $9 per hour effective July 1, 2014, and shall increase from $9 to $10 per hour effective January 1, 2016.
DISCUSSION
The revised salary schedule makes adjustments in order to comply with Assembly Bill 10. California Code of Regulations (CCR) §570.5 requires governing bodies to approve and adopt pay schedules for public employees whenever there are changes.
All agencies that are members of CalPERS are required to ensure that pay schedules are publicly adopted and available as prescribed by California Code of Regulations, Title 2, §570.5 and §571 (b). “Publicly available” is defined as posted at the employer’s office or immediately accessible and available for public review. Placing the adopted pay schedules on the employer’s internet website meets this requirement.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
No additional fiscal impact shall result from the proposed action. The associated costs have already been approved and incorporated into the City Council Adopted Budget for Fiscal Year 2015/2016.
