O-09-25 Amending Ordinance 725 Establishing a Pay Plan and Schedule of Authorized PositionsTO:
Village Board Meeting
FROM:
Stacy Patrianakos, Administration
THROUGH:
Consistent with Village Policy
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Amending Ordinance 725 Establishing a Pay Plan and
Schedule of Authorized Positions
DATE:
March 24, 2025
SUMMARY/BACKGROUND
It is an annual process to create a new budget and approve the non -union pay plan. The
Village Administrator and Finance Director have submitted a budget for approval which
includes funds allocated for pay increases for employees covered by the non -union pay plan.
The non -union pay plan covers regular full-time and regular part-time employees. Regular
employment means that an employee is scheduled to work a set number of hours year-round.
In addition to regular employment, the Village employees' people on paid -on -call, temporary
and seasonal bases. In order to make it clear as to which provisions cover each group of
nonunion employees, three separate groups of pay ranges have been submitted for approval.
One applies to regular full-time employees, another to regular part-time employees, and a
third to paid -on -call, temporary and seasonal employees. In the pay plan description, these
same distinctions are made between the three groups of employees and how they will be
compensated.
ANALYSIS
The non -union pay plan has a plan description which explains how the non -union pay plan
functions. It also contains three separate charts with pay ranges for the three groups of
employees already identified. Pay ranges were increased at the midpoint of the range by 3%
generally, with the minimum and maximum equally spread on either side of the midpoint. By
raising the pay ranges, it will allow pay rates to remain competitive with the market. It is
proposed that regular full-time and regular part-time employees receive a 3.0% across-the-
board pay increase on May 1, 2025. Paid -on -call, temporary and seasonal employees will
receive a 3.0% across-the-board pay increase on May 1, 2025. In addition to the across-the-
board pay increases to be received on May 1, 2024, non -union regular employees will be
eligible for a merit increase of 0 to 2% on their anniversary date based on their performance.
Paid -on -call, temporary and seasonal employees do not receive annual evaluations and are
not eligible for a merit pay increase. MAP union employees receive a step or longevity pay
increase on their anniversary date in addition to the May first across-the-board pay increase.
Consistency with Village Policy Budget (if applicable)
Consistency with Village Policy
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the non -union pay plan and list of authorized positions. The pay
increases for non -union employees are comparable to those of employees covered by the
MAP union contracts. The proposed pay increases are in line with what employees are
receiving in comparable communities and the job market in general, according to survey data.
The non -union pay increases have been costed out and incorporated into the budget
calculations. The amount of the pay increases and rise in the midpoints of the pay ranges will
assist the Village in attracting and retaining valued staff members during a period of low
unemployment and increasing inflationary economic pressures.
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED
Approval by the Village Board of Trustees of the non -union pay plan and list of authorized
positions

VILLAGE OF LEMONT
2025 - 2026 PAY PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RULES
INTRODUCTION
The pay plan of the Village is designed to ensure consistent and standardized employee salary
administration. The day-to-day management and interpretation of the pay plan shall be the
responsibility of the Village Administrator. The pay plan and classification system does not
include, and shall not apply to, any employment position covered as part of a collective
bargaining agreement.
The pay plan applies to regular full-time and part-time employees who are regularly
scheduled and work year-round. Any paid -on call, temporary or seasonal employment position
with the Village, such as a seasonal position or a paid on -call position, shall only be covered
underthe pay plan to the extent specified. Anyemployment position covered byan employment
contract shall not be covered under the pay plan except to the extent otherwise provided in the
employmentcontract.
PAY PLAN CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
The classification of alljobs will be classified utilizing specific job titles plus an assignment of
that job title to a salary range on the salaryschedule.
In general, for full-time positions the Village will construct pay ranges measuring 40%-50% in
width and 5%-15% between each pay grade, as recommended by the Position and
Classification Study completed in 2013 and as adopted by the Village Board in 2019. The Village
will be conducting another pay study in 2025.
PROGRESSION THROUGH PAY PLAN
Employees will normally start at the entry step of the pay range assigned to the job
classification. If determined to be in the best interest of the Village, the Village Administrator
may start an employee at a rate higher than the minimum. Reasons for starting an employee at
a pay rate above the minimum shall be limited to instances in which the applicant possesses
experience above what would be considered entry level, the re- hiring of a previously employed
individual or instances in which competition within the labor market warrants such a pay level.
Progression through an employee's pay range will be dependent upon performance evaluations
conducted by the Department Head and/or immediate Supervisor. Individual merit raises may
range from zero to two percent (0% to 2%), subject to a Village -wide means as determined by
the Village Board, for re afar employees who receive an annual performance evaluation.
In addition, all regular employees subject to this pay plan shall receive an across-the-board pay
increase on May first (1 st) of three percent (3.0%) added to their base pay rate. Paid- on call,
temporary or seasonal employees shall receive an across-the-board pay increase on May first
(1 St) of three percent (3.0%) added to their base pay rate, unless otherwise specified, but shall
not be subject to a merit pay increase.
The maximum merit pay increase within any twelve (1.2) month period shall be eight percent
(8%).
FREQUENCY OF PAYADJUSTMENTS
For regular full-time and part-time employees, merit increases shall be considered annually
thereafter on the employee's anniversary date.
AMENDMENTS TO CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM & PAY SCHEDULE
a) All amendments to the pay plan, job classifications, assigned pay ranges, authorized
strength, and to the pay schedule shall require adoption of an Ordinance by the Village
Board of Trustees.
b) From time to time the Village Administrator shall analyze the pay ranges and job
classifications of the Village to determine whether revisions are required. Such
recommended revisions should be forwarded to the Village Board for consideration and
possible adoption.
c) Individuals exempt from overtime are defined as salaried employees. Those employees
who are eligible for overtime are defined as hourly -paid employees. The actual hourly
rate paid shall be based upon the salary assigned, divided by the number of hours
designated for the position.
d) In order to maintain its competitiveness, the Village will review and, if necessary, make
market adjustments to the pay range. Such adjustments may be based upon trends in
the economy and labor market. Any such adjustment shall be effective on May 1, and
shall apply to all non -represented employees.
e) The Village Board may choose to delay the frequency of pay adjustments as indicated in
Section IV, B subject to economic conditions which may make such action necessary.
