Orange County Personnel Department 208 South Cameron Street Tel: 919 732 -8181 Post Office Box 8181 919 968 -4501 Hillsborough, NC 27278 919 688 -7331 919 227 -2031 Fax: 919 644 -3009 October 9, 1998 MEMORANDUM TO: Orange County Board of Commissioners John Link, County Manager Q FROM: Elaine Holmes, Personnel Direct `~ SUBJECT: Employee Pay and Benefits — Follow Up Information to October 6 Meeting In follow up to the October 6 Board meeting and discussion of the Employee Pay and Benefits report, enclosed is the additional information requested. 1. Teacher Pay Attachment 1 is information on the teacher pay plan. Commissioner Halkiotis asked how the Service Based Pay option presented in the Orange County Employee Pay and Benefits Report related to teacher pay. W In concept, the teacher pay plan is based on years of experience. This is described under the salary schedule section of Attachment 1. This means a teacher with more years of service and experience is paid at a higher level than a teacher with less service and experience. This is the same concept as that presented in the Employee Pay and Benefits Report, Service Based Pay option; that is, employees advance in salary as they gain additional service and experience. As outlined in the report, the County option presented would require that the employee's performance be Proficient before salary advancement occurred. This is different than the teacher pay concept in that a teacher advances in the salary schedule irrespective of performance rating. 2. 1998 -99 Cost for 1997 -98 Pay Plan If Continued In response to Commissioner Gordon's request, Attachment 2 shows the estimated 1998 -99 cost for the 1997 -98 pay plan (Career Growth and Performance Awards) if continued in 1998- 99.
