2 <br />The Orange County Personnel Ordinance, Article V, 8.0 <br />states "An employee whose position is reclassified to a <br />class having a higher pay range shall receive a one -step <br />salary increase or an increase to the minimum step of the <br />new salary range, whichever is higher. However, in no case <br />shall the salary exceed the maximum for the range. An <br />employee whose position is reclassified to a class having a <br />lower pay range shall not receive a reduction in salary as <br />a result of the reclassification." <br />As a result of the study and our interpretation of the <br />Orange County Personnel Ordinance, there are two groups of <br />employees whose salaries will be affected by this study. <br />-- There are approximately 22 employees whose positions <br />will move to a higher salary grade as a result of a <br />reclassification. These 22 employees will receive a <br />one step increase or an increase to the minimum of the <br />proposed new range, whichever is higher. <br />-- There are approximately 19 employees whose current <br />salaries are below the minimum of the proposed salary <br />range. These 19 employees' salaries will be raised to <br />the minimum of the proposed range. <br />Phase II of this study will include Health and Department <br />of Social Services positions. In addition, some positions <br />in the following departments have undergone a- <br />reorganization of duties during the course of the study <br />or require restudy and will be included. These departments <br />are Register of Deeds, Planning, Personnel, and Public <br />Works. Phase 11 is targeted for completion May, 1991. <br />At an upcoming meeting we will be asking the Orange County <br />Board of Gommissioners to approve the adoption of the <br />Classification Study changes to the Orange County <br />Classification and Pav Plan with all classification changes <br />and salary increases to have an effective date of January <br />7, 1991. <br />
