The proposed change amends the Classification and Pay Plan by revising the Community Rate and Training & Intern pay schedules to coincide with the state increase in minimum wage. The proposed change also abolishes certain pay grades and adjusts the pay grade for certain classifications.

Synopsis: The State of Colorado approved an increase of the state’s minimum wage for 2019 from $10.20 per hour to $11.10 per hour. This is a part of Amendment 70 that was adopted on January 1, 2017 which approved subsequent increases of $0.90 per hour increments annually until minimum wage reaches $12.00 on January 1, 2020.
Pay Rationale: A review of the current pay ranges was done to comply with the minimum wage increase.
It was found that one classification and pay grade in the Training & Intern Schedule was below the $11.10 per hour. As a result, we are changing the pay rate of Mayor’s Youth Worker to $11.10 per hour.
It is recommended to abolish multiple pay grades where the minimum of the pay range is below the minimum wage and there are no classifications associated with the pay ranges. We are adjusting the pay range of pay grade Z-114 to reflect the minimum wage increase. It is also recommended to abolish Z-113 because the minimum pay rate falls below the new minimum wage rate. Current classifications tied to Z-113 will move to pay grade Z-114. The Food Service Worker classification will move from J-602 to J-603 because the current range minimum is below the new minimum wage. To maintain internal equity, OHR is proposing to move Golf Sales Associate from Z-114 to pay grade Z-116 because it should remain higher than the Golf Starter/Ranger and Golf Cart Attendant because the duties and responsibilities are higher level, and this will maintain the current internal equity. It is also recommended to move Golf Pro Shop Assistant from C-603 to C-605. This classification performs lead work duties over the Golf Sales Associate and it will be placed in pay grade C-605 to maintain the current internal equity and percent difference between the classes.
Employee Impact: These pay range changes will affect a total of 1036 employees indicated as being active in Workday as of 10/24/2018. All impacted employees are on-call employees. Of the 1036 employees, there are 861 employees who will receive an increase to the range minimum of the assigned pay range. All other employees’ salaries fall within the assigned pay range.

Budget Impact: Based on the actual hours worked (YTD) for the 882 employees, it is estimated that it would cost an additional $158,807.08 annually affecting four agencies; however, we know the actual cost will vary since they are all on-call employees whose schedule can fluctuate throughout the year based on department needs and work availability. The total estimated budget impact in 2018 was $203,038.08.
