Floating Holiday Accrual Schedule for FLSA
and Union Exempt Employees
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners set the compensation and benefits of the FLSA
and Union Exempt employee positions of Jefferson County; and
WHEREAS, after review by the County Administrator and the Board of Commissioners
it has been determined that the compensation and benefits for FLSA and Union Exempt employee
positions needs to be comparable and equitable in order to insure consistency and parity with other
employee positions and to keep the compensation and benefits for these positions at a rate that will
allow the County to retain and recruit employees for these positions; and
WHEREAS, on July 27, 2015, the County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 26-15
in the matter of establishing objectives and procedures for the 2016 County Budget, including a budget
priority to maintain a professional County workforce.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County Commissioners that
the additional floating holiday accrual schedule for FLSA and Union Exempt employees shall be
aligned with the floating holiday accrual schedule for other union represented County employees as
follows:

Employment
Non -Accruable PTO/Vacation Days
(Floating Holidays) Per Calendar Year
(based on FTE)
0 thru 36

3+ thru 10

and that FLSA and Union Exempt employees of the County shall be granted one additional floating
holiday, and shall receive longevity pay similar to other union represented County employees as

exempt wage table for at least 12 months will receive a one-time lump
sum of $800.00 upon completion of 15th year and on each following

the top step of the exempt wage table for over 12 months will receive a
one-time lump sum of $1,200.00 upon completion of 20th year and on
each following annual anniversary.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the compensation and benefit adjustments will be
effective January 1, 2015.

AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Philip Morley, County Administrator
Erin Lundgren, Clerk of the Board
DATE: October 26, 2015
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION re: Granting Longevity Pay and an Additional Floating Holiday, and
Amending the Floating Holiday Accrual Schedule for FLSA and Union Exempt
Employees
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
Based on a recent review of paid leave and longevity benefits for all County employees, it appears that the
benefits provided to FLSA and union exempt employee positions are not equitable to similar benefits
provided to other union represented employee positions.
While it is difficult to assure "exact" uniformity among benefits for all employee positons, it is important to
keep the benefits at a rate that will allow the County to retain and recruit employees for all positions.
ANALYSIS:
It is being proposed that effective January 1, 2015, the additional floating holiday accrual schedule for FLSA
and union exempt employees be aligned with the additional floating holiday accrual schedule for other union
represented employees as follows:
Completed Months of
Employment
Completed Years of
Employment
Non -Accruable PTONacation Days
(Floating Holidays) Per Calendar Year
(based on FTE)
0 thru 36
0 thru 3
1
37 thru 120
3+ thru 10
2
121+
10+
3
and that FLSA and union exempt employees be granted one additional floating holiday, and receive longevity
pay similar to other union represented employees as follows:
Employees with 15 years of County service and in the top step of the exempt wage
table for at least 12 months will receive a one-time lump sum of $800.00 upon
completion of 15' year and on each following annual anniversary. Employees
with 20 years of County service and in the top step of the exempt wage table for
over 12 months will receive a one-time lump sum of $1,200.00 upon completion
of 20" year and on each following annual anniversary.

Commissioners Office
FISCAL IMPACT:
Currently, there are 36 FLSA and union exempt employees that will be granted an additional floating
holiday. In 2015, 11 FLSA and union exempt employees will be eligible to receive longevity payments as
they have been at the top step of the exempt wage table for at least 12 months. Of those, three employees
have 15+ years of service with the County, and eight employees have 20+ years of service with the County.
Approve and sign the resolution.
