m m im ASIDE FOR MERIT INCREASES, THE BOARD WOULD INDICATE TO THE OTHER OFFICES WHICH THE BOARD FUNDS, I.E., THE SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS, CLERK'S OFFICE, ETC., HOW SERIOUS WE ARE AND MAKE THEM AWARE THAT THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH MONEY TO DISTRIBUTE OVER ALL THEIR PEOPLE FOR MERIT INCREASES. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT AS FAR AS THE BOARD'S EMPLOYEES ARE CONCERNED, HE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE QUARTILE SYSTEM SET UP WITH THE INCREASES AS SUGGESTED BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, OR 0 - 1 - 3 - AND 5. COMMISSIONER DEESON INQUIRED WHETHER WE ARE REVIEWING EMPLOYEES AT LEAST ANNUALLY TO LET THEM KNOW WHERE THEY STAND. HE FELT THIS MUST BE DONE. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON SUMMARIZED THAT THE BOARD IS RECOMMENDING AN 8.5% COST OF LIVING RAISE ACROSS-THE-BOARD, PLUS A MAXIMUM OF 5% MERIT INCREASE FOR ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL, BUT IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT IS AVAILABLE FOR THE MERIT INCREASES, IT IS 2.5% TIMES THE TOTAL BUDGET AMOUNT ON PAYROLL. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE MERIT INCREASE IS TO BE BASED ON PRESENT SALARIES, NOT ON THE SALARY AFTER THE 8.5% COST OF LIVING INCREASE IS ADDED. HE REQUESTED THAT PERSONNEL DIRECTOR DONLON PUT THESE RECOMMENDATIONS INTO WRITING. COMMISSIONER Loy COMMENTED THAT THE SALARY THAT AN EMPLOYEE FINISHES WITH ON SEPTEMBER 30TH - THAT SALARY IS TO BE INCREASED 8.5%. THE MERIT INCREASE IS TO BE BASED ON THE SALARY AS OF SEPTEMBER 30TH. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT STATED THAT IF AN EMPLOYEE GOT 8.5%, PLUS 3%, FOR INSTANCE, IT WOULD BE 11.5% TIMES HIS PRESENT SALARY, COMMISSIONER LOY DID NOT BELIEVE WE ARE GOING TO BE IN A POSITION TO DO ALL THIS BY THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEA§ BECAUSE SHE FELT THE MERIT INCREASES COME UP ALL THOUGHOUT THE YEAR. CHAIRMAN SIEBERT ASKED MR. DONLON IF THE MERIT INCREASES ARE STAGGERED, AND PERSONNEL DIRECTOR DONLON STATED THAT THEY ARE ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AND HE HOPED THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL THE EVALUATIONS PRIOR TO THE START OF THE BUDGET YEAR. 71 Y 7190 BOOK 43 .PAGE48 7JF_
