RE: WIFC Pay Scales Adjustment
Mary Kay Sherman, Dan DeVries, and I have been reviewing the way we pay
employees at the WIFC over the last several months. The current model is attached.
WIFC has three full-time employees that fall under the City Grade Placement Table
and are eligible for cost of living adjustments (COLA) annually.
There is one permanent part-time employee hired after 2009 that also falls under the
City Grade Placement Table and is also eligible for COLA increases.
The remaining variable hour employees hold different levels of responsibility and
cross-training and fall under three different tiers of payment. They are eligible for
COLA.
There are also coaches, umpires, scorekeepers, and other recreation staff that work
per game. They are not eligible for COLA since their wage is determined by the cost
of the program.
The State of Michigan has adjusted the minimum wage over the last several years and
more are in place scheduled out to 2030. We are considering some changes to our
current methods to account for this change and streamline some processes moving
forward. The proposed changes include:
Move to a pay range system for each tier of employee to allow for management to
place employees within the range as appropriate. Performance evaluations and
measurements to determine placement will be instituted for fairness and
accountability.
Employees within the tier ranges would no longer be eligible for COLA but an annual
review would be held to determine if wages are competitive and appropriate.
Adjustments would be made if warranted.
Reclassify certain employees to permanent part-time and offer some benefits.
These critical positions include part-time employees such as Fitness Manager,
Membership Specialist, Building Maintenance, and Adult League Coordinator.
We are looking for approval from the Personnel Committee on the proposed structure
and reclassification of tier three employees to permanent part-time
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Projected
NOTES: Budget Overage
The "Project Budget Overage" amount (B) reflects the following assumptions:
- All Tier 1 and Tier 2 employees will be earning the maximum pay rate for their Tier for all hours worked.
- All Tier 3 employees will immediately adjust to the mid point of their pay range.
- Since neither assumption is entirely accurate once the Tier system is implemented, the Projected Budget Overage (B) is intended to show a projected "worst case" scenerio.
If the calculations above were based on a pay rate of $13 for Tier 1 and $15 for Tier 2, then the Projected Budget Overage (B) would equal approximately $53,000.
