From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Re: Step Increase, Jahnke
Background:
Under the City's Compensation policy, a probationary employee may advance to the next pay step
after satisfactorily completing six months of employment which meets performance expectations,
subject to approval of the City Council.
Jahnke began employment with the City of Scandia on March 5, 2014.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the step increase for Maintenance Worker Brian Jahnke?
Proposal Details:
On September 11, 2014 Director of Public Works Kieffer gave Maintenance Worker Jahnke his
probation period review. A review of work completed over the past six months as it relates to
Jahnke's job duties was discussed and goals were established for the coming year.
The Public Works Director and City Administrator are recommending Jahnke receive a step increase.
His new hourly rate of pay would be at a Step 2 ($20.22).
Options:
1) Approve the step increase effective September 5, 2014
2) Do not approve the step increase
Recommendation:
Option 1.
