§ 6.08.370. Tier I Establishment of Salary Upon Appointment.

A person appointed to a class or position designated as participating in Tier I of the Plan shall be paid as follows:

A.

Department head. For persons appointed to positions of department head, the Appointing Authority may designate a salary at any rate within or outside of the Salary range established for the position to which the person is being appointed. In the absence of such designation by the Appointing Authority, said person shall be compensated as applicable pursuant to Section 6.08.370 subsection B or C.

B.

Appointment of Persons Not Currently Employed by the County. For any person who is not currently employed by the County and who is appointed to a position other than department head, the Chief Executive Officer shall review and approve the recommendation of the Appointing Authority with regard to the initial salary placement for such person, provided; however, that any such recommended salary placement shall require the specific approval of the board of supervisors if it exceeds either the control point of the salary range or the salary threshold noted below:

Effective Date	Annual Salary Threshold
April 1, 2018	$175,000
October 1, 2018	$179,000
October 1, 2019	$183,000
October 1, 2020	$188,000

 

C.

Promotional Appointments. A person being promoted from another position in County service shall be compensated at a salary within the Salary range of the higher position, except that such person shall receive an increase of at least 5.5 percent, rounded to the nearest dollar, above his/her previous base salary but not less than the minimum of the Salary range. Promotional increases greater than 5.5 percent shall require the approval of the chief executive officer. However, if the resulting salary in the new position exceeds either the control point of the salary range or the salary threshold in effect as indicated in subsection B and is greater than 5.5 percent above the previous base salary, the promotional appointment shall require the approval of the board of supervisors. Persons compensated at a Y-Rate shall receive an increase of 5.5 percent, rounded to the nearest dollar, over the maximum of the Salary range for the person's present position. If the person would thereby suffer a reduction in salary, said person will be placed at his/her current salary or at such higher salary as may be specifically authorized by the chief executive officer or the board of supervisors if the resulting salary exceeds either the control point of the salary range or the salary threshold in effect.
