Classification Notice No. 1670
To: Agency Heads and Employees
From: Karen Niparko, Executive Director of the Office of Human Resources
Date: February 29, 2021
Subject: Revised Redesign of Classification and Pay Plan
The proposed change(s) amends the city’s Classification and Pay Plan by:
1) Abolishing the city’s twenty (20) current pay tables
2) Replacing the city’s current pay tables with three (3) proposed pay tables
3) Reassigning the city’s current classifications to the proposed pay grades table
In 2019, the City and County of Denver contracted Gallagher Benefit Services, Inc (Gallagher) to conduct a review and analysis of the city’s current classification and compensation plan. Gallagher studied the city’s structure of pay tables and ranges and provided recommendations based on market trends and best practices. These recommendations will improve employees’ and management’s understanding of the city’s career paths and pay range structures and simplifies and improves efficiency in the annual maintenance of the city’s pay tables and ranges.
This proposal will abolish the current twenty (20) pay tables and is requested to establish three (3) proposed pay tables: One (1) non-exempt, one (1) exempt, and one (1) community rate pay table. This report contains the current Pay Grades and Pay Table abolishments, the proposed Pay Tables and Ranges, and the job codes and classifications’ Current Pay Grades to the Proposed Pay Grades Table.
As a result of ongoing maintenance to these proposed Pay Tables and Ranges, classification changes made between 2/1/21 and 4/10/21 will be allocated to their proposed pay grade per the same methodology applied to all other classifications in this study.
An effective date of April 11, 2021 is requested for these proposed pay grade and range changes.
Per Career Service Rule 7-37 A - “If it is determined that changes to the Classification & Pay Plan are necessary, the effective date of any resulting changes to the Classification & Pay Plan shall be the beginning of the first work week following approval by the mayor or by the City Council over the mayor’s veto. Provisional classifications resulting from changes to the Classification & Pay Plan may be used upon approval by the OHR Executive Director or Board but use for longer than six months is contingent upon City Council approval.”
