Re: Step Increase, Firkus
Background:
In July 2013 the City Council approved a City of Scandia Compensation Policy (Resolution 07-16-
13-03). Under the policy, each year on an employee's anniversary date following a satisfactory
performance review and with approval by the City Council, the employee is eligible to receive a step
increase.
Firkus began employment with the City of Scandia on January 12, 1996.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the step increase for Treasurer Firkus?
Proposal Details:
On January 9, 2014 Treasurer Firkus and I sat down for her annual review. A review of work
completed over the past year as it relates to Firkus' job duties was discussed and goals were
established for the coming year.
I recommend Firkus receive a step increase to$19.52/hr beginning on her anniversary date.
Options:
1) Approve the step increase effective January 12, 2014.
2) Do not approve the step increase
Recommendation:
Option 1.
