Seasonal Employee Salaries
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the Resolution adopting
salaries for seasonal employees.
Overview
In 2019, the only salary adjustment for seasonal wages was applied to Level 1, Step 1 of the pay
scale. There were no changes to Level 1, Steps 2 through 5, Level 2 and Level 3 for 2019.
Staff conducted a seasonal salary survey for seasonal maintenance positions. Based on the survey
results, the beginning market average for seasonal maintenance I was $11.82 for 2019. The
beginning market average for a seasonal maintenance II was $13.62 for 2019. Seasonal
maintenance I positions are reclassified to Level 3. Seasonal maintenance II positions are
reclassified to Level 5. This will bring the positions in align with our comparable cities.
The 2020 seasonal pay plan reflects a 2.5% increase for Level 1, Step 1. There are $0.50 increases
for steps 2 through 5. Level 2 and Level 4 (formerly Level 3) were adjusted accordingly. The
Community Theatre Staff position reflects a 2.5% increase. There are no proposed salary changes
for other specialized positions for 2020.
The Personnel Committee has reviewed the information and is recommending approval of the
seasonal pay plan. The proposed pay rate increases are included in the 2020 budget.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Having competitive seasonal wages will attract and retain seasonal employees. The
proposed wages also comply with the Minnesota Minimum Wage Law.
Supporting Information
• Resolution Granting Approval of Seasonal Employee Salaries
