V. Compa Ratio: As part of the administration of the pay <br />plan a Compa ratio shall be computed for each management <br />employee. The Compa ratio represents the relationship of <br />each manager's current salary to the control point of <br />his/her salary grade. The Compa ratio is calculated by <br />dividing the employee's current salary by the control <br />point of his/her salary grade. <br />VI. Annual Salary Grade Adjustment: Salary grades will be <br />normally adjusted annually, taking into consideration <br />market and other influences such as increases granted <br />managers among agencies within the city's survey area, <br />increases granted the city's represented employees, etc. <br />The salary grade adjustment will not usually result in <br />any adjustment to individual managers salaries. <br />VII. Merit Increase Pool: Each year based upon the <br />recommendation of the city manager and as approved by the <br />city council, there shall be established a merit increase <br />pool. The merit increase pool is a percentage of total <br />base management salaries from which management salary <br />increases are distributed. <br />VIII. Merit Increase Guide: Annually a merit increase guide <br />shall be developed for the purpose of distributing merit <br />salary increases. The guide will be constructed in such <br />a fashion that it will result in the distribution of <br />' merit increases equal to the aggregate of the merit <br />increase pool percentage. <br />In construction of the merit increase guide the following <br />assumptions shall be incorporated: <br />o Increase amounts should differ significantly as <br />performance levels increase. Increase amounts <br />should not overlap; that is, minimum treatment for <br />the "Far Exceeds Expectations" manager should be <br />higher than maximum treatment for the "Exceeds <br />Expectations" performer. <br />o Managers entering positions at the minimum of the <br />salary ranges and with sustained performance at the <br />various levels, should approach their respective <br />performance ceilings after approximately the same <br />interval; i.e., a "Far Exceeds Expectations" <br />performer would reach close to the range maximum at <br />about the same time that a "Meets Expectations" <br />performer would reach 104 of the midpoint if each <br />started at the same time at range minimum. <br />- 22 - <br />
