SALARY STUDY, 8¢port by Personnel Policy Review Committee States Attorney Robert Hoy, on behalf of Judge Frank Racek who was unable to attend this meeting, reported on the salary portion of the study conducted by the Personnel Policy Review Committee. He stated that a Grievance Committee was formed, and the group met daily for long hours in a conference room on third floor of the Courthouse. A lot of issues were discussed, as well as structure of offices, management responsibilities, and they spoke with some employees when they felt it was necessary to find our more about their jobs. The result was a report that was distributed to' department heads and Commissioners last Friday. It represents the final report of the committee. Mr. Hoy stated that the salary report includes everyone in Cass County with few exceptions. The committee did not include five professiorla] people in the Extension Service because they are wholly graded by, and responsible to, the State Board of Higher Education. The two County Judges were not graded and salaries were not discussed because of State Statutes. /he only others not included are non- permanent part time people. Mr. Hoy stated that the committee made every effort to grade only the position, not the person holding that position. The grades proposed within the system are believed to be consistent and equitable across the board comparing one department with another so that they are interchangeable within the same system. This proposal is not only for the balance of 1989, but for all of 1990 as well. /he total proposed salary adjustments for the last six months of 1989 including retirement and Social Security amounts to $217,580, according to Mr. Hoy.
