[Amended 6-14-2022]
The Town of Tolland offers a pay plan with pay
schedules consisting of pay levels directly comparable to the classification
levels on the classification plan. Each pay level (or classification
level) has established minimum and maximum pay rates. Any salary rate
established for an employee shall represent the total remuneration
for the employee, not including reimbursement for official travel.
Except as otherwise provided in these rules, e.g., overtime compensation
or working out of classification, no employee shall receive pay from
the Town at other than within the pay rate established for the classification
level of his or her position. The Town will provide job applicants
with the pay range of the position for which the applicant is applying
before or when offering the applicant the job, or when the applicant
requests it during the application process, whichever is earlier.
The Town will provide employees with pay range information for their
position at time of hire, if their position changes, or upon the employee's
first request for a wage range.
The Town Manager will annually prepare and recommend
a pay plan as described above to the Town Council. The recommendations
of the Town Manager will be based upon consideration of all factors
relevant to the maintenance of sound compensation practices. An initial
pay plan and all changes in the pay plan itself will be submitted
to the Town Council for approval. During the life of an approved pay
plan, the Town Manager shall have the authority to make and approve
changes in employee compensation, as circumstances require.
Pay increases, promotions and other salary actions are based upon acceptable performance (merit) and are not considered to be automatic or based on length of service alone. (See Article
XI on performance evaluation.)
