Seasonal Employees and Instructor Salaries
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the resolution
adopting salaries for seasonal employees and instructors.
Passage of this motion will comply with the Minnesota Minimum Wage Law.
Overview
The Minimum Wage standards require us to provide a minimum rate of $8.00 per hour on
August 1, 2014, $9.00 on August 1, 2015, and $9.50 on August 1, 2016. Inflation indexing will
begin January 1, 2018.
On August 1, 2014, the resolution was amended to comply with the $8.00 per hour minimum
rate. Staff is proposing a new resolution, effective August 1, 2015, to simplify the wage
structure and more easily comply with the law in future. The new resolution includes four pay
ranges and staff has identified those classifications that fall within each range.
The Personnel Committee has met and is recommending approval of the new resolution.
Primary Issues to Consider
• How will this change impact the 2015 budget?
Staff submits their budgets using average labor costs because of the annual
turnover. Therefore the specific impact of this change is unknown but presumed
to be less than $10,000 in 2015.
