2001 - Saginaw County

Board of Commissioners March 27, 2001
1) New positions that are not equivalent to an existing
position;
2) Existing positions that have experienced a significant change
in job responsibilities.
Neither the Study nor the Policy included a process to use when
determining whether a position factored by Hay Management and
appealed by a department head should be resubmitted. (each
position classification or appeal is charged at a rate of $300.)
Your Labor Relations Subcommittee asked that staff develop some
guidelines. These were presented in communication no. 3-27-5
from Cathy J. Snyder, Administration Director.
Based on our review, we recommend the following guidelines be
adopted to assist your committee in determining when a position
should be referred to Hay Management for a second review:
1) Hierarchy: i.e., the position has been scored in a way that
results in a supervisor making less than a subordinate, or
other similar circumstances.
2 Departmental equity: i.e., the position has been scored in a
way that results in two co-workers, in the same department,
with equivalent duties, responsibilities and qualifications,
to be compensated unequally, or other similar circumstances.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS
James M. Graham, Chair
Connie D. Smith, Vice Chair
By Commissioner Smith: That the Report of the Committee be
received and the recommendations contained therein be adopted.
Approved.
FROM: COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS -- 4.5 MARCH 27, 2001
Your Labor Relations Subcommittee considered communication no. 11-
14-17 (00) from the Judges of the 10th Circuit Court and 70th
District Court requesting that MERS benefit program E-2 be added
to their retirement benefits. Currently, all other full-time
County elected officials are covered under the E-2 benefit program
provision.
We concur with the request and recommend that all Circuit and
District Court Judges who did not convert from Defined Benefit
Retirement to Defined Contribution Retirement be allowed the MERS
benefit program E-2 the same as other full-time County elected
officials with the cost to be paid for with funds from the Court
Budgets. Upon Board approval the appropriate resolution will be
submitted at the April Session.
Respectfully submitted,
