RECOMMENDATION
Adopt Resolution Number 26-4440 adopting out-of-class pay for the Interim Town Manager.
DISCUSSION/BACKGROUND
The Town of Yountville Personnel Rules and Policies, Section 5.D.18, sets the minimum for out-of-class pay increases at “no less than five percent (5%) of [the employee’s] base hourly equivalent wage.” Appointment as the Interim Town Manager involves increased responsibilities in the course of carrying out the new duties, justifying a pay increase in accordance with these provisions and as required by the Personnel Rules and Policies.
In addition, the Town Council retains the authority to establish salaries and compensation by Resolution as it does for all employees.
The attached Resolution establishes a pay increase of between five percent (5%) and twenty percent (20%) of the base hourly equivalent wage for any current employee appointed as the Interim Town Manager, which is an out-of-class position. This percentage reflects the increased duties and responsibilities inherent in the Town Manager position. If adopted by the Town Council, this salary increase range would become effective immediately and would apply to any employee appointed as the Interim Town Manager.
