Subject:
Discussion and possible action to authorize an exception to current county Personnel Policy Section 6.13 and approve a salary for transferred employee in slot #2429 Bailiff in the amount of $28.17 per hour as is currently budgeted for slot; and any other matters incident thereto. Issue: Previous Bailiff employee for 49th District Court Slot #2429 recently retired from county. The Judge’s office has now filled vacant slot with employee who transferred from the Sheriff’s Office. County policy Section 6.13- “Transfers Non-Wage Plan to Wage Plan” states that transferred employees from a non-wage plan to the wage plan shall be placed at entry level of the corresponding grade as per county wage and pay scale plan. This would result in a maximum pay of $20.14 per hour, Grade 16H. Solution: Transferred employee was previously employed with 49th District Court in a Bailiff position. Due to previous budget restrictions, employee was moved to Sheriff’s office in 2017 where his pay current was $27.14 per hour. Employee has been with the county for over 30 years. An exception to Section 6.13 is being requested for this particular circumstance. Result: Transferred employee retains, at a minimum, same salary earned in previous position.
