ADMINISTRATIVE BRIEF FROM NATALIE FISCHER
HUMAN RESOURCES
Pay Plan and Classification Study Update
During the October 4, 2021 City Commission meeting, the Governing Body approved an
agreement with Evergreen Solutions to conduct a pay plan and classification study.
Since that time, staff has worked with Evergreen to provide a lot of information about
City of Salina policy, practices, and data. An Evergreen Solutions representative came
to Salina January 10-11, 2022, to meet with employees, provide information and receive
feedback. Employees were given the opportunity to attend one of six different
orientation sessions and one of five different focus groups at Tony's Pizza Event
Center. Social distancing was observed at sessions. For those unable to attend, an
orientation video recording has been made available. Employees are in the process of
completing survey information regarding their roles and responsibilities so that
Evergreen representatives can gain a thorough understanding of what they do.
Evergreen will soon be working on market data. The estimated completion is April 2022,
but staff will provide additional updates as the project progresses.
Time and Attendance Implementation Update
During the November 22, 2021 City Commission meeting, the Governing Body
approved an agreement with Andrews Technology to provide a time and attendance
system. With the exception of Kenwood Cove, the City of Salina currently does not have
timeclocks. Andrews Technology is supplying timeclock equipment along with Novatime
software and support. Staff has been working with Andrews Technology staff assigned
to this project to determine settings and receive guidance on software structure. City of
Salina department heads and their designated staff have been tasked with completing
requests for information. Staff in various departments will become more involved in the
coming months to fine-tune the software programming and begin testing. By early
February, an updated detailed project plan will be created but the tentative timeline for
employee and supervisor training is April 2022 with a go -live date for equipment and
software of June 2022. We have not determined if it will be best to phase-in
departments or to do the entire organization at the same time, but that determination will
be made in the coming weeks as we work through department -specific configurations
and schedule variances.
