Mallette, Director ~ Department of Human Resources TO: RE: Personnel Policy Amendments As is our custom, my staff and I continually review personnel policies in order to determine whether or not they are being applied as intended, or to determine whether or not they need to be modified because of changes in the law or changes in basic personnel practices. These reviews may also be initiated as a result of questions from employees and supervisors. . As a result of our most recent review, I am recommending a series of changes to the personnel policy. 1. ARTICLE III THE PAY PLAN All changes associated with Article III are intended to better clarify the procedures that are to be followed in issues relating to an employee's pay. With the implementation of the new pay plan, my staff and I have continued to review the policies associated with pay to ensure that they are consistent in all phases of implementation. As a result of that review, the attached changes are being recommended. All of these changes are consistent with the approved philosophy of pay for performance in all subsequent increases awarded to County employees. 2. ARTICLE IV RECRUITMENT AND EMPLOYMENT The change recommended for Article IV is intended to make that policy consistent with other sections of the Personnel Policy. . . . . 1;1.-1) ITEM A Article III The Pay Plan Section 4. Use of Salary Ranqes for Performance-based Pay Increases Salary ranges are intended to furnish administrative flexibility in recogn1z1ng individual performance among employees holding positions in the same classification by rewarding employees for meritorious service. Advancement from the minimum to the maximum rate would be accomplished under the guidelines established for the County's performance management system. The following general provisions will govern the granting of those within-the- range increments: Department heads are required to conduct a minimum of one performance review for all employees, except for temporary employees, during the fiscal year, whether it results in a salary increase or not. Probationary employees shall have a performance review to determine eligibility for Active status at the end of the established probationary period; those employees whose performance is rated at standard or above would be eligible for an increase. Probationary employees are not eligible for a merit increase until they have successfully completed probation. Employees whose performance is rated below standard would not be eligible to receive a merit increase. Employees whose current salary falls within the development range and whose performance is rated standard would be eligible to receive an increase of 0% 3% 0\ - 5\; employees whose current salary is at job rate or in the incentive range and whose performance is rated standard would not be eligible to receive a merit increase. Employees whose performance is rated above-standard would be eligible to receive an increase of 0% 10%. All above-standard ratings and merit recommendations are subject to being monitored for conformance to the County's performance management system and to approval by the Director of Human Resources. The maximum merit increase that can be awarded to an employee in a fiscal year is 10%, whether it is the result of cumulative increases or a single one. All merit increases will be subject to the availability of funds budgeted to the department's salary increment account. . . . /;J-E. Reason for Change: Article III Section 4 When the policy was written, the thinking was that we may do as some other organizations do and evaluate employees in the development range twice a year. Therefore, we put in the maximum of 3% increase each evaluation to build in a maximum of 6% for the year for standard performance in the development range. Now, after having had time to study options for merit increment schedules, the thinking is that employees in both the development and incentive ranges of the grade will have one performance appraisal per year. If that is the case, 3% is too little movement in a year towards job rate for developing employees. . . . /;J-r ITEM B Article III The Pay Plan Section 8. Salaries of Trainees Applicants hired, or employees promoted to a position in a higher classification, who do not meet all the established requirements of the position, may be appointed at a rate of 5% below the minimum rate of the pay grade established for the job, unless placement at a lower rate is approved by the Director of Human Resources. An employee will remain at a trainee rate until the department head certifies that the trainee is qualified to assume full responsibilities of the position and the Director of Human Resources or County Manager approves the certification. ADD: Trainees are eligible to receive merit increases, subject to Section 4 of this Article, except that such increases cannot result in placement at a pay rate equal to or above the minimum rate of the pay grade established for the job. When trainees have been approved for removal from trainee status, they will receive a salary adjustment to the minimum rate of the pay grade established for the job [See Section 9 (f)]. Section 9. Pay Rates in Reclassification, Promotion, Transfer,aM Demotion (ADD:) and Salary Adjustment ADD: ( f) Salary Adjustment for Employees Approved for Removal from Trainee Status: When employees are approved for removal from trainee status, their pay rate is adjusted to the minimum rate of the pay grade established for the classification. Reason for Change: Article III Sections 8 and 9 Clarification of current policy and practice /)-(; ITEM C . Article III The Pay Plan . . Section 10. Pay Rates in Salary Grade Revisions Maintenance of the pay plan shall include annual surveys of labor market statistics and comparative salary data. Appropriate grade and/or range changes will be made to the pay plan. Individual employees' rates mayor may not change, depending upon their rates before the adjustment, the extent of the adjustment, their employment status (Probationary or Active) and their performance rating at the time the adjustment is effected. Prior to the effecti~e date of the adju~tment, an abbre~iated performance reVie\l uoing the appropriate form ~hall be conducted. Probationary employeeo r.:ho are rated otandard \iOuld mo'..e to the rate in the adjusted pay grade cloEJeEJt to, but not ImlOr than, their current rate or to the ne\[ minimum, \lhichever iEJ higher. Acti 'Ie employee~ uho are rated ot~lndard ",iOuld move to the rate ia the adju~ted pay grade cloEJest to, but not lmmr than, their current rate or to the ne\{ tranE:i tion rate, uhiche'Jer i~ higher. Probationary and acti ~.e employeeEJ \lho are rated belm)' standard \lould not be eligible for ouch rate adjuotmentE: until a EJtandard performance rating is achieved through a subsequent performance re....iml (~lhich muot occur \lithin t\lO calendar monthEJ after the effective date of the general adju~tment). Employees in the developaent range whose perforaance is rated standard or above-standard will r....in at their assigned pay grade and step at the adjusted rate, except that Active (non- probationary) employees with standard performance who are below step 03 will move to step 03 in the transition to the adjusted pay plan. Elaployees in the developaent range whose perforaance is rated below standard will ~ve to the rate closest to, but not lower than, their current rate, even if it is below the new lliniaua or transition rate of the pay grade for their classification. Employees in the incentive range whose perforaance is rated above standard will reaain at their assigned pay grade and step at the adjusted rate; ellployees in the incentive range whose . . . J ;;1-11 performance is standard or below-standard will move to the rate closest to, but not lower than, their current rate, in the pay grade for their classification. Reason for change: Article III Section 10 Removal of specific language about the method and timing of performance appraisal is to allow for tying this increase to the annual performance appraisal. In the pay-for-performance system we are attempting, even an employee's eligibility to remain in his/her relative position within the range during transition to an adjusted pay plan is dependent upon performance. The rating of performance for these purposes, therefore, may need to come from the more comprehensive annual performance appraisal. The focus shifts from simply trying to keep standard performers above the new minimum or transition rate to a plan that will keep standard performers in the development range and above-standard performers in the incentive range at their relative positions within the range. To retain our best employees, we must ensure that they continue to feel that they are moving ahead. If we concentrate only on adjusting the ones at the low end of the range, it will result in compression. As re-written, for employees to be eligible for individual adjustments, they are held to the same strict standards as for eligibility for merit increases. " . . . I, -r )0' -...1.. M E M 0 RAN DUM RE: Personnel Policy Amendments Page Two October 8, 1992 3. ARTICLE V SEPARATION AND REINSTATEMENT; INTERIM SUSPENSION; DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS There are several changes recommended for Article V of the policy. As indicated, this policy deals primarily wi th disciplinary actions. These recommendations are intended to clearly identify to employees and supervisors the consequences for failures in performance of duties and also to clearly identify the type of procedure to be followed in appealing various types of personnel actions. It has long been an established administrative policy that an employee could not appeal the amount of a merit increase. The addition to Article V Sec. 14(2)(B) now makes that a portion of the Personnel Policy. In addition to the above stated recommendations, I am also proposing that the attached amendment, to allow for the use of polygraph examinations in the County's investigation into misconduct against an employee, also be approved. The procedures outlined in the policy conform with those approved by the courts. 4. THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT (ADA) The American with Disabilities Act requires the County to implement, in phases, various regulations and requirements associated with the act. In keeping with those directives, I am recommending the attached grievance procedure to be used by individuals alleging violations protected by the ADA. Upon approval, the procedure will be distributed and posted throughout County departments. While I hope that the explanations offered above will be sufficient, I will be glad to respond to any questions that you or the Commissioners might have regarding any of the recommendations. . . . /;2- J ITEM D Article IV Recruitment and Employment Sec. 10. Probationary Period of EmploYment An employee appointed to a full-time or part-time regular position will serve a probationary period of six (6) months, except that law enforcement officers, in the Sheriff's Department will serve a twelve (12) month probationary period. An employee may be dismissed during the probationary period at any time the appointing authority feels the employee is not satisfactorily performing the assigned duties. h probationary employee diomiooed may appeal cuah aotion through the appeal procedure outlined in hrticle V 8eo. 14. Employee hppeal.++ An employee serving a probationary period following initial employment in a regular position will receive all benefits provided in accordance with this ordinance, with the following exception or as otherwise provided: (a) Employees serving a probationary period following a promotion will continue to receive all benefits provided in accordance with the policy and under other supplementary rules and regulations. *(b) All new employees who are not enrolled in a retirement system that is transferable to the Local Governmental employees' Retirement Fund, will not be eligible for enrollment into either system until they have been employed six months or until they have successfully completed their probationary period. Before completion of the probationary period, the department head will indicate in writing to the County Manager: (a) That the department head has discussed the new employee's progress (accomplishments, strengths, and weaknesses) with the new employee; *Amended April 1981 **Amended August 1982 . . . I~-K ITEM E Article V Separation and Reinstatement; Interim Suspensions; Disciplinary Actions *Sec. 12 Dismissal A. Failure in Performance of Duties An employee who continuously fails to achieve the performance levels established and communicated by the respective supervisor(s), faces the possibility of dismissal as the appropriate disciplinary action to be taken by the appointing authority. Dismissal for performance deficiencies will normally be preceded by the steps outlined in Article V Section 11, (a) and (b); or, in the case of a serious infraction, may result from one incident. An employee who receives three Employee Consultation Memos for failure in performance of duties during any consecutive three year period shall be dismissed. The three warnings may result from causes related or unrelated, constituting failure in performance of duties. B. Failure in Personal Conduct Dismissal of an employee charged with failure in personal conduct may be preceded by the steps outlined in Article V Section 11, (a) and (b); or, in the case of a serious infraction, may result from one incident. Before an employee in a regular position can be dismissed for either cause, a Pre-Dismissal Hearing must be conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined in Article V, Sec. 13. When appropriate, an interim suspension may be instituted until a Pre-Dismissal Hearing can be conducted, pursuant to Article V, Sec. 8. *Amended March 1985 . . . /;1- J. ITEM F Article V Separation and Reinstatement; Interim Suspensions; Disciplinary Actions Section 14. Employee Appeal Procedures (2) *Appeals of a Memorandum of Warninq or Performance Appraisal An employee who wishes to appeal a memorandum of warning or the content of a performance appraisal may, within five (5) working days after the action and after notifying his department head in writing of his intentions, appeal the action in writing to the Director of Human Resources. The appeal to the Director of Human Resources must contain the information described below. A. Appeal of a Memorandum of Warninq (a) The request from an employee appealing a memorandum of warning must contain the response of the employee to the charges contained in the memorandum of warning and the remedy desired by the employee B. Appeal of Contents of a Performance Appraisal (b) The request from an employee appealing the contents of a performance appraisal must contain the response of the employee to the portion of the performance appraisal to which there is an objection and the remedy desired by the employee. An employee may not file an appeal of a Performance Appraisal based upon the amount of merit increase awarded. The Director of Human Resources will assign the appeal to a staff investigator to determine the merit of the action. Within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of the employee's notice of appeal, the staff investigator will make a recommendation to the Director of Human Resources regarding the disposition of the appeal, and the basis for the recommendation and evidence relied upon. The Director of Human Resources reserves the right to further investigate any issues raised in the appeal. *Revised March 1988 . . . /;J - /1 The Director of Human Resources will assign the aPReal to a staff investigator to determine the merit of the action.

Mallette, Director~ Department of Human Resources TO: RE: Student Services Leave . Attached is a proposed Personnel Policy amendment designed to encourage eligible County employees to become more involved in supporting student education in New Hanover County. The policy would credit eligible employees with up to eight (8) hours per year to be used for such acti vi ties as parent-teacher conferences, attending school acti vi ties, or participating in mentoring or tutoring program, thus not requiring them to use any of their accrued personal leave for these activities. Also attached as supporting documentation for this amendment are letters from representatives of two organizations requesting participation by County employees in their efforts. All of us are needed to combat the staggering drop-out rate and to serve as role models for area youth. While parents with school age children may choose to use their allotment of time in activities in which their children are. participants, perhaps the needs of organizations like the two attached might be met by employees who do not have school age children and who wish to give time to these efforts. I will be glad to respond to any questions you may have regarding this policy. Attachment . !-~. :, 1',$:. -':;'.~, : .~~~~ ~.',>f: '" . -,...:-":-,,, '!i'...~., ~.; .. :~..
