That is something we have <br />already reviewed with department heads, and people would be in <br />their right classifications. <br />Ms. Deeb further pointed out that the cost figures presented <br />do not include the Constitutionals as she was not given current <br />actual salaries for any Constitutional Officer group but one. <br />Ms. Deeb next reviewed implementation alternatives for <br />employees over maximum and their recommendation: <br />IMPLEMENTATION ALTERNATIVES <br />Employees Over Maximum <br />• Postpone further salary increases until the <br />ranges catch up with the incumbent. <br />• Continue to grant cost -of -living, <br />across-the-board adjustments to the <br />individual's base salary. <br />• Grant cost -of -living, across-the-board <br />adjustments as a lump sum payment <br />(prorated throughout the year). <br />IMPLEMENTATION RECOMMENDATION <br />APR 211988 <br />• Grant cost -of -living, across-the-board <br />adjustments as a lump sum payment <br />(prorated throughout the year). <br />• Advantages <br />- Ensures that market value of <br />compensation does not erode <br />- Provides employees with some <br />monetary recognition for continued <br />service to organization <br />- Consistent with culture <br />Does not create compounding effect <br />of increasing base salary <br />▪ Maintains integrity of the system <br />14 <br />BOOK 72 Pa,F 147 <br />
