Plant Operator Licensure Pay Policy Amendment
Submitted for:	Adrian Montemayor	Submitted By:	Adrian Montemayor
Department:	Water Utilities

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to approve the revised Plant Operator Licensure Policy providing for the modification of incentive pay rate from a flat $1.00 per hour to a rate determined by the newly achieved grade.

Issue: Pay incentives has been part of our Licensure policy for the water and wastewater plant operator for approximately two (2) years now and has been effective in licensing our operators. The policy in which was based on a $1.00 per hour increase when the next license level is acquired has created a conflict in the placement of the next grade and step scale approved by Webb County.

Solution: Revise policy to establish the employee acquiring their license ill obtain the pay of the first step of the established grade for Operator II, Grade 14 or Operator III, Grade 16 respectively.

Result: Compensate accurately within position grade and step.

Background:

Currently Pay Incentives are provided to employees that obtain their C license of $1.00 per hour. This revision provide for an increase to the correct new position grade and step where the increase is no less than $1.00 per hour.
