Report
Item: 12.
Category: Consent Calendar
Date: December 7,2004
TITLE: AMENDMENT TO THE CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY PLAN-
HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
RECOMMENDA TION
That the City Council adopt the attached Resolution amending the Classification and
Salary Plan.
DISCUSSION
Due to the retirement of Barbara Lee in August 2003, the position of Administrative
Services Director has remained vacant. This unfilled position has continued to provide
salary savings to the City. However, there were corresponding workload adjustments that
were required to maintain service levels within the City Manager's Department. The
most notable of those tasks was to increase the Human Resources (HR) Manager's
responsibility to include all City labor negotiations. Additionally, the HR Manager has
authority for all aspects of employee relations, including review of departmental
investigations and disciplinary actions.
Prior to the Administrative Services Director's departure, the HR Manager began to
undertake labor negotiation duties. She continued with those objectives and completed
all 2004 labor negotiations. Campbell's HR Manager classification is functioning as a
combination of a Division Head and Department Head with a broader scope of
responsibility compared with survey agencies at the HR Manager level.
There has been a trend to reclassify the position of HR Manager to that of HR Director in
other local agencies. Currently, only one other agency out often comparables has the
classification ofHR Manager. These comparable classes have responsibility for all
Human Resources related functions including: employee relations, labor negotiations,
workers' compensation, recruitment, training and benefits administration. This
comparison indicates that Campbell's HR Manager class has a broader scope of
responsibility comparable to HR Directors in other agencies.
It is recommended to recognize the significant increase in responsibility by providing an
additional salary amount necessary to bring the compensatioh level up to the amount of
other management classes within the City possessing similar levels of responsibility and
authority. .~
A completed salary survey for the Human Resources Manàg'er classification revealed
Campbell's HR Manager classification is 27% below the survey average. The
recommended increase of 8.3% in salary range is based on establishing a reasonable
comparison of duties to that of other management classes within Campbell.
The attached Resolution proposes recommendations as follows:
I.
That the salary range for the Human Resources Manager be set at the same
salary range of the Traffic Engineer, Senior Planner, Senior Civil Engineer,
Redevelopment Manager, Building Official, PW Superintendent, and Land
DevelopmentÆnvironmental Program Manager which is $8061.15 -
$9798.40.
2.
That the Job Description for Human Resources Manager be revised consistent
with the revised job description as attached.
FISCAL IMPACT
The present maximum salary for Human Resources Manager is $9047.08 monthly.
If the recommendations herein are approved with a new monthly top step of $9798.40,
additional costs associated with the recommended salary total approximately $751 per
month or about $9016 annually. No budget adjustment is necessary as these costs will be
offset by the salary savings of the Administrative Service Director position.
ALTERNATIVES
Do not amend the Classification and Salary Plan by modifying the attached class
specification. Staff does not recommend this alternative.
