[Ord. #856, §§ 2220 — 2220.1; Ord. #1026;
Ord. #1410, eff. July 1, 1972]
The salary of the classification of the Compton Civil Service
System, from which regular appointments may be made, shall be established
in accordance with the Salary Schedule of the City.
Salary Schedule shall be established by resolution of the Council.
a. Basic Five-Step Salary Schedule. The Salary Schedule established
by the Council shall consist of a sequence of ranges, with each range
containing five steps. The steps in each range shall be designated
"A", "B", "C", "D", and "E". Step "A" shall identify the minimum amount
of compensation which shall be the minimum amount in the range. Step
"B" shall identify an amount greater than Step "A"; Step "C" shall
be greater than Step "B"; Step "D" shall be greater than Step "C";
and Step "E" shall be greater than Step "D". Each step in a range
shall relate to each other step in the range so as to provide an equitable
progression in compensation from Step "A" through Step "E".
The ranges shall be ordered such that the range with the least
amount of compensation for Step "A" shall be designated Range 1, and
Range 2 shall be the range with the next lowest compensation prescribed
for Step "A", and Range 3 shall be the range with the next lowest
amount of compensation prescribed for Step "A". This pattern for the
order of ranges shall be continued until all ranges have been placed
in proper sequence. The relationship between ranges shall be such
that there is an equitable progression in compensation from Range
1 through the highest range.
All amounts of compensation in all steps and in all ranges shall
be related to each other so that there is a consistent and identifiable
pattern to the Basic Five-Step Schedule.
[Ord. #856, § 2221; Ord. #1026]
Each officer and employee in the service of the City (other
than those whose compensation is otherwise fixed by Charter, ordinance,
or resolution) shall be entitled to receive, and there shall be paid
to him, for his services the applicable rate of compensation shown
in the Basic Five-Step Salary Schedule prescribed for the range in
which his position is allocated.
[Ord. #856, § 2222; Ord. #1026]
On and after December 16, 1950, in case of original appointment
to any position coming within the purview of the Basic Five-Step Salary
Schedule, the beginning rate of compensation shall be the minimum
step; provided, however, the beginning rate of compensation for such
original appointment may be fixed by the City Manager at any one of
the steps within the range to which such position is allocated if
he shall find that the person appointed thereto, because of his experience
and ability, is reasonably entitled to a rate above the minimum, or
if he shall find that it is impossible to obtain qualified appointees
for such position at the minimum step. In the case of promotional
appointment to a position allocated to a higher range, the beginning
rate of compensation shall be fixed by the City Manager at a step
within such higher range, which step shall represent an increase in
compensation for the officer or employee so appointed.
[Ord. #856, § 2223; Ord. #1026; Ord. #1235]
Advancement from one schedule step to another shall be made
effective automatically at six month intervals from the anniversary
date of the officer or employee affected. "Anniversary date" shall
mean the date of the probationary appointment of the officer or employee
in the Classified Service of the City.
a. Hereafter all step increases shall be made effective at the commencement
of a regular pay period. An advancement from one scheduled step to
another shall occur at the following intervals after due consideration
of the increased service value of the employee to the City as determined
by his conduct, performance, and length of service and other pertinent
facts. Advancements shall be automatic except where the appointing
authority or power evidences in writing that there is cause for denial
of a salary advancement. The time interval for award of step advancements
from the anniversary date of the officer or employee affected shall
be:
Step A
|
Beginning rate
|
Step B
|
After 6 months in next lower step
|
Step C
|
After 6 months in next lower step
|
Step D
|
After 1 year in next lower step
|
Step E
|
After 1 year in next lower step
|
"Anniversary date" is defined to mean the date of the probationary
appointment of the officer or employee in the Classified Service of
the City.
|
b. In such cases wherein an employee shall demonstrate exceptional ability
and proficiency, such person may be advanced to the next higher step
on recommendation by the appointing authority or power and approval
of the City Manager without regard to the minimum length of service
provisions contained in this section. Advancements under this section
shall not change the employee's anniversary date.
c. The salary of any employee may be reduced by one or more steps within
the salary range upon the recommendation of the appointing authority
or power and approval of the City Manager. As respects Department
Heads, such discretion shall be vested solely in the City Manager.
The provisions of Subsection 5-3.4 shall be applicable as respects appointments occurring prior to the adoption hereof and shall continue in effect until such time as each such employee is assigned to the Range Number in Paragraph a of this subsection as the same is provided for above in Paragraph a.
