SUBJECT: 2012 Wages and Salaries for Part-Time Fire Department Employees DATE: December 1, 2011 Introduction The City Council is asked to adopt the attached resolution, setting pay for the part-time employees and officers of the Shakopee Fire Department for calendar year 2012. Background Hourly Wage Based on the Council's direction at its November 22 workshop meeting, an increase from $10.00 to $10.50 per hour is`proposed for all paid-on-cal! firefighters who have completed the first year of their probationary period. This will be the first pay increase firefighters have received since January 1, 2D04. First-year firefighters, who spend a majorify of their time in training, would continue to be paid $10.00 per hour. Officer Pay Annual salaries are paid to th'e individuals that hold officer or specialty positions with the Department. There are no changes being proposed to the positions, the number of positions or the salaries. Therefore, the recommended salaries are as follows: # of Annual Officer Title Officers Salarv Assistant Chief 1 $5,100 Deputy Chief of Training 1 $4,590 Deputy Chief of Engineering 1 $4,590 Captain 2 $2,350 Lieutenant 4 $2,040 Station Engineer 2 $1,730 SCBA Coordinator 2 $1,530 It should be noted that the 13 part-time officer positions listed above come #rom among the 46 paid-on-call firefighters authorized in the 2012 budget; they are not in addition to the 46. The annual salaries are in addition to the hourly wage these individua(s receive for attending cal(s, drills and meetings like any other firefighter. Incentive Pay As was also discussed during the CounciL's November 22 workshop, staff is recommending the implementation of an incentive pay system for firefighters, that would provide an addition to their hourly wage if certain attendance targets are met. The proposed program would work as follows: Each firefighter's attendance percentage for calls, drills and meetings shall be calculated for the twelve-month period of November 1, 2011 through October 31, 2012. Firefighters achieving 50 — 59% attendance shall be paid an additional $0.50 per hour for each hour they had worked during that twelve-month period. Firefighters achieving 60 — 74% attendance shall be paid an additional $0.75 per hour and firefighters achieving 75% or better attendance shall be paid an additional $1.00 per hour. This pay shalf be distributed to qualifying firefighters on or about December 1, 2012. All non-probationary firefighters shall be eligible for the incentive pay program. Attendance percentages shall be rounded to the nearest whoie number for purposes of determining eligibility. Individuals who leave employment with the Fire Department mid- way through the twelve-month period (i.e. prior to October 31) shall not be eligible for incentive pay. Budget Impact The estimated cost of the fifty-cent increase in the hourly wage is $10,000. The estimated cost of the incentive pay program is $7,500 to $10,000. Sufficient funding to cover both is included in the preliminary 2012 operating budget. Relationship to Vision A fair and reasonable compensation system contributes to Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of well-trained, caring and professional employees. Requested Action: If the Council concurs, it should offer Resolution No. 7146, a resolution adopting the 2012 Pay Plan for Part-Time Employees of the Shakopee Fire Department, and move its adoption.
