POSITION CLASSIFICATION AND PAY PLAN
FOR PART TIME LIQUOR EMPLOYEES
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to Approve the Resolution Amending the
Position Classification and Pay Plan for Part-Time Liquor Employees.
Passage of this motion will result in compensation changes for 2016.
Overview
Staff recently conducted a survey of other municipal liquor stores to ensure that we continue to
provide compensation and benefits that encourage recruitment and incent employees to remain
members of the Lakeville team.
We found that the wages paid to our part-time staff are competitive; therefore we are not
recommending an increase for cost of living. To recognize their commitment and dedication to
helping make the Lakeville Liquor Operation the highest in gross revenues and net profit with the
lowest operating expense to sales ratio of all municipal operations, we recommend a recognition pay
based on tenure.
The survey also indicated that many municipal liquor operations are providing an incentive to
encourage employees to work on holidays. Therefore staff is recommending that we pay 1.5 times the
regular rate of pay for four major holidays; Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and
Christmas Eve Day, consistent with other municipal operations.
Staff reviewed these options with the Personnel Committee and they recommend approval of the
attached resolution.
Primary Issues to Consider
What are the cost/benefits of the proposed changes? The overall cost of the proposed changes will
be $3,000 provided through the liquor fund. The benefits will include increased retention of part-time
employees, incentivizing employees to work on holidays and increased recognition of long-term
employees.
