CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR CITY EMPLOYEES
Effective October 1, 1987
I. PURPOSE:
The purpose of this classification and compensation plan is to comply with the
provisions of the Minnesota Pay Equity Act of 1984 (Minnesota Statutes 471.991
to 471.999) by establishing "equitable compensation relationships between
female- dominated, male- dominated, and balanced classes of employees."
II. SCOPE:
A. The classification portion of this plan applies to all permanent employees
of the City of Fridley.
B. The compensation portion of this plan applies to all permanent employees
of the City of Fridley except those employees who are members of a
bargaining unit which is subject to the compulsory arbitration provisions
of the Minnesota Public Employees Labor Relations Act ( MPELRA). Also the
terms of a labor agreement arrived at through collective bargaining in
accordance with the provisions of the MPELRA take precedence over the
compensation provisions of this plan.
III. CLASSIFICATION:
A. Each position shall be given a point value based on the results of the
study commissioned by the Metro Area Management Association ( "Point
Value ").
B. Positions with similar Point Values shall be combined into groups which
shall receive similar minimum compensation.
IV. COMPENSATION:
A. The "Maximum Earning Potential" of each position on July 1, 1987, shall be
determined as follows:
1. For non - exempt employees it shall be determined by including the top
rate of pay for each position plus applicable longevity pay, overtime
pay, premium pay, and the insurance benefit available from the City
for each employee ($175.00 per month in 1987).
2. For exempt employees it shall be the top rate of pay for each position
plus the insurance benefit available from the City for each employee
($175.00 per month in 1987).

B. The Maximum Earning Potential for each position shall be plotted against
the Point Value of that position using standard statistical procedures to
develop two trend lines: one for non - exempt employees and one for exempt
employees. The trend line for exempt employees will incorporate a five
percent (58) increase in Maximum Earning Potential to adjust for the fact
that they do not receive longevity pay, overtime pay, or premium pay.
C. The salary range for each group shall be determined as follows:
1. The applicable trend line shall be reduced by the amount of the
insurance benefit available from the City ($175.00 per month in 1987).
2. The midpoint of all Point Values of each group shall be determined
( "Midpoint Value ").
3. The position on the trend line corresponding to the Midpoint Value of
each group shall be plotted.
4. The monthly salary range ( "Salary Range ") for each group shall extend
from eighty percent (808) to one hundred ten (1108) of the
corresponding dollar value associated with that group's Midpoint Value
as determined by the group's trend line.
D. Each individual employee shall be assigned to the Salary Range for the
' group which includes the Point Value of the employee's position.
E. Each individual employee's minimum rate of compensation shall be based on
the applicable Salary Range to which the employee is assigned under
Paragraph IV. C and D above and on length of service as an employee of the
City of Fridley.
1. If the employee has been employed less than six (6) months, the
minimum rate of compensation shall be no less than the minimum amount
provided for in that Salary Range ( "Range Minimum ").
2. If the employee has been employed for six (6) months but less than
eighteen (18) months, the minimum rate of compensation shall be no
less than five percent (58) above the Range Minimum.
3. If the employee has been employed for eighteen (18) months but less
than thirty (30) months the minimum rate of compensation shall be no
less than ten percent (108) above the Range Minimum.
4. If the employee has been employed for thirty (30) months or more the
minimum salary shall be no less than fifteen percent (158) above the
Range Minimum.
F. Salary adjustments which are required in order to comply with this Plan
shall be made in two stages. The first half of the adjustment shall be
made effective October 1, 1987. The second half of the adjustment shall
be made effective July 1, 1988.
