1. Starting pay would be reduced to $41,000.00, with the corresponding increase to one- <br /> year Deputies to $41,500.00; and <br /> 2. Deputies with twenty-plus(20+)years' experience would be brought to topped out pay. <br /> This was exactly the same as the Union's initial proposal on the subject. <br /> See Union Ex. 3. <br /> The Union offered this proposal to accomplish complete parity within the bargaining unit. <br /> Upon running the numbers of the Sheriff's proposal,the Union discovered that while the proposal <br /> was offered as 5% "across the board", this was far from the case. Specifically, newly-hired <br /> employees would receive approximately a 7.8% raise. See Union Ex. 5. These employees would <br /> be brought up from making $38,950 to making $42,000 (7.8%). Id. Even more alarming is the <br /> fact that employees with one year of service would receive a 9.1% increase. Id. These employees <br /> would be brought up from making $38,950 to making $42,500 (9.1%). Id. <br /> The Union's counter proposal of a $41,000.00 starting salary and increase for one-year <br /> employees to $41,500.00 was meant to more-closely match the 5% increase offered to all other <br /> employees. See Union Ex. 6. Specifically, an increase to $41,000.00 starting would be <br /> approximately a 5.26% increase and an increase to $41,500.00 for one-year employees would be <br /> a 6.54% increase. Id. <br /> Additionally,Union Counter Proposal One would accomplish the important task of raising <br /> long-term Deputies to topped-out pay. Lastly, the cost savings of the Union's proposal (the <br /> Sheriff's Office saving $1000.00 per new, one-year and future employee) would account for the <br /> difference in cost between the Union's proposal and the Sheriff's initial proposal. In striving for <br /> parity and rewarding long-term employees, this proposal would accomplish all goals with little- <br /> to-no additional cost to the Sheriff's Office. <br /> 4 <br /> 21 <br />
