The State minimum wage is increasing from $15 to $15.50 per hour effective January 1, 2023. One other adjustment was made to avoid wage compaction with a higher level classification. All incumbents with salaries below the new minimum rate of the range will be adjusted to the minimum rate upon implementation.
Library Supervisor – Effective August 14, 2022 City Council authorized changing a Library Supervisor position funded at .6 to a full-time (1.0) position. The part-time Library Supervisor is included in the Compensation Plan for Unrepresented Mid-Management Library Group C-2 Employees (C-2 Plan). The C-2 Plan is solely comprised of library employees working less than full time. The Pomona Mid-Management Confidential Employees’ Association has agreed to include the full-time Library Supervisor classification in their bargaining unit. Additionally, this classification and level of responsibility is comparable to other classifications within this bargaining unit. Therefore, Appendix B of the PMMCEA MOU will be amended to include Library Supervisor.
