The Human Resources Department has been actively working towards implementation
of the new pay plan that was approved on July 25, 2022. The following provides a recap
of the activities that have occurred and the items that will be occurring soon.
7/21/22 — Employees were provided the link to the City Commission packet that
included the pay plan study report and the proposed new pay plan.
7/26/22 — Employees were notified that the City Commission approved the pay plan,
and that the pay plan consultant would be at Tony's Pizza Event Center 7/27-7/28/22 to
provide informational sessions for employees. Eleven different meetings were held and
one session was recorded by the City of Salina's Multimedia Specialist for employees
unable to attend. The video link was distributed 7/28/22 via the employee email
distribution list. Eighty-five employees attended the in-person sessions.
8/1/22 — Human Resources printed individual employee letters to notify each person of
his or her position title, current pay grade, new pay grade, current pay rate, and new
pay rate. Time slots were reserved on the Director of Human Resources' calendar from
2-4pm on 8/2-8/5, and additional slots were created due to demand. Twenty-four
meetings were scheduled, five were in the queue to be scheduled, and three phone
conversations were held with employees. An inventory was made of the requests for
additional review.
Following the conclusion of the reviews noted above, Human Resources staff will begin
payroll software system configuration to make all of the changes for employees to be
paid new rates within new pay grades. Training with Evergreen Solutions on the Job
Assessment Tool (JAT) for future position placement as well as position
description/classification reviews and updates will occur following the 9/1/22 pay plan
implementation.
