APPENDIX A
PAY PLAN DESCRIPTION AND RULES
VILLAGE OF LEMONT
I. INTRODUCTION.
The pay plan of the Village has been designed to insure
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.
II. PROGRESSION THROUGH PAY PLAN.
A. Employees willl 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 step
higher that the minimum. Reasons for starting an
employee at a pay step 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.
B. 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 0% to 7 %, subject to a
Village -wide average of 5 %. Annual increases shall be
based upon the evaluation criteria listed as follows: 0
- 2.5% for employees rated as below standards; 2.6 -
5.0% for employees rated as meeting standards; 5.1 -
6.0% for employees rated as above standards; or 6.1 -
7.0% for employees rated as exceptional.
C. The maximum merit pay increase within any twelve (12)
month period shall be 7.0 %. Thus the pay raise for a
first year employee will be split between two separate
pay recommendations.
III. FREQUENCY OF PAY ADJUSTMENTS.
A. New employees shall be eligible to receive a pay
adjustment upon the completion of six (6) months of
37
service, and upon the completion of one (1) year of
service.
B. Upon completion of the first year of employment new
employees will be evaluated and considered for step
increases annually thereafter on May 1, subject to the
following conditions:
1. If an employee has less than 1 year 4 months of
service as of May 1, that employee shall not be
eligible for a pay increase.
2. If an employee has at least 1 year 4 months of
service, but less than 1 year 9 months of service
as of May 1, that employee shall be eligible for an
increase provided that the total salary increase
during the past 12 months of service has not
exceeded 7.0 %.
3. If an employee has at least 1 year 9 months of
service on May 1, that employee shall be eligible
for pay increases as indicated in Section II of the
pay plan.
IV. EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS.
A. Salary adjustments recommended shall include a written
employee evaluation providing justification for the
increase. Department Heads or the immediate Supervisor
shall personally discuss the performance evaluation with
each employee to insure full understanding of any issues
which need to be addressed.
B. The Village Administrator shall review, process and
maintain all employee evaluations, and insure that
appropriate documentation is provided regarding the
performance of employees.
C. Department heads and those individuals supervised by the
Administrator shall be evaluated by the Village
Administrator.
V. 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.
38
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 shall be forwarded to the
Village Board for consideration and possible adoption.
C. Those individuals who are 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. From time to time the Village Board may implement
adjustment to the salary schedule. Such adjustments may
be related to changes in the cost of living, or based
upon the ability to remain competitive within the
employment market place. Any such adjustments shall be
effective on May 1, and may apply to specific job
classifications or the organization as a whole.
If an employee shall receive a pay increase
recommendation of 0 %, that employee shall not be entitled
to a Village Board generated salary schedule adjustment
until a performance evaluation is conducted and the
review indicates the employee is meeting or is above
standards (per Section II, B).
E. The Village Board may choose to adjust the Village wide
average as indicated in Section II, B or may choose to
delay the frequency of pay adjustments as indicated in
Section III, B subject to economic conditions which may
make such action necessary.
