SUBJECT:
Title
Request Approval of the Reclassification of 101 Positions within the Budget of The Office of the County Engineer BL400541 (Budget Impact - Expenditure of $315,367)
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Sara Caron, Director Human Resources
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Evergreen Study completed and implemented in 2022 was a county wide effort to review and revise classification and compensation for various positions throughout the County.
Prior to the implementation of the Evergreen Study recommendations, the Florida voters approved a constitutional amendment to gradually increase the state's minimum wage each year until reaching $15.00 per hour in September 2026.
As the study was underway, it was expected that the future minimum wage of $15.00 per hour would create compression issues within the Office of the County Engineer Roads Division. Since Marion County’s proactive adoption of the $15.00 per hour minimum wage, the compression issues have been witnessed, and staff attrition due to the same has occurred.
To address the compression issues and staff attrition due to the Florida Voters approved minimum wage standard of $15.00, the County Engineer is requesting the following changes:
