title
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-81 modifying the pay schedule for part-time, non-permanent, and non-classified employees to comport with the State minimum wage increase effective January 1, 2023
body
Statement of Issue:
The State of California minimum wage law will increase to $15.50 per hour effective January 1, 2023. In order for the City to act in accordance with the State minimum wage change, the pay schedule for part-time / hourly / non-permanent and non-classified employees requires modification.
Financial Impact:
The estimated Fiscal Year 2022/23 impact is $104,047 to address the financial impact associated with State minimum wage and consequent adjustments to the City’s part-time pay schedule.
Recommended Action:
recommendation
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-81, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Pay Schedule for Part-Time Non-Permanent and Non-Classified Employees Effective January 1, 2023,” and authorize the City Manager to take all administrative and budgetary actions necessary to implement the revised pay schedule.
end
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the Resolution, and direct staff to find an alternative means of complying with the statewide minimum wage requirements.
Analysis:
The State of California Minimum Wage will increase from $15.00 to $15.50 per hour effective January 1, 2023. The City is required to modify its compensation schedules to comport with the law by the January 1, 2023, implementation date. Those employees currently at a pay range starting below $15.50 per hour will need to be increased to a pay range with a minimum higher than $15.50 per hour. The part-time pay schedule has been adjusted to assign new ranges on the City’s master salary schedule to comply with the minimum requirements, along with modifications to minimize compaction within the impacted job series. Additionally, unused working titles have been removed, and new working titles have been added to assist with recruitment efforts to meet evolving operational needs. The updated pay schedule for Part-Time, Non-Permanent, and Non-Classified Employees is included as Exhibit A.
