April 5, 2023 at 8:30 AM - Human Resources Committee Meeting.

Description:  The proposed handbook language changes are being presented earlier than the typical handbook timeline in order for rate sheets to be finalized for employee open enrollment and education to occur in the typical annual timeline.  

For purposes of aligning benefits to ACA and industry standards, consider changing handbook language to deem only those employees that work 30 or more hours per week eligible for insurance.  Current employees working less than 30 hours would be grandfathered with their current level of coverage.

For purposes of making hourly employee contributions to insurance more understandable and uniform, decrease the number of contribution levels to three.  Employees will be able to receive at least the current employer contribution percentage level for their current insurance coverage within the proposed changes.  

Structure and costing information is attached.

 

Description:  The district budget planning process incorporated 7.5% employee wage increases for all employee groups.  The attached information provides estimates illustrating those associated costs.

Preliminary discussion about market-based wage adjustments in hourly employee groups and potential costing estimates for all employee groups except for teachers.  Review committee thoughts about taking all employee groups except for teachers for approval at the May meeting.


For reference to our earlier discussions:

April/May - Review internal and market-based adjustments for 22/23 wages using referendum funds.  Work collaboratively with the Teacher Compensation Committee on the process.
