RE: 1% Equity Adjustment for Unions
Summary and Background
As you are aware during the budget process, we authorized a 1% equity adjustment for non -represented
employees with a goal of bringing a compensation study plan forward to the board by the end of the year. Many
of the Unions had a wage re -opener for Fiscal Year 2020 with the goal of realigning their wages. Some of their
compensation will be aligned with the compensation study so we mutually agreed to delay the wage reopeners
until there was more direction on the compensation study.
I am requesting the following unions receive the 1% equity adjustment while Labor Relations begins the bargaining
process of their current wage plans.
• American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) representing specific Circuit
Court/Family Court classifications
• Governmental Employees Labor Council (GELC) representing specific classifications at Children's Village
• Michigan Nurses Association (MINA) representing the Public Health Nurses in the Oakland County Health
Division
• United Auto Workers (UAW) representing supervisors in the Clerk's Office and a newly formed union (A
Tentative Agreement will be brought to the Board in January).
Our goal is to bring back a formal updated wage plan in January 2021 for the unions that hold wage reopeners.
With your approval, the one-time, 1% equity payment will be processed with the pay period beginning December
5, 2020 and paid on the December 24, 2020 paycheck.
In speaking with Fiscal Services, we are recommending funds be allocated from the Non -Departmental General
Fund Salary Adjustment Reserve line item for General Fund / General Purpose positions and funding for grant
funded positions is to come from the applicable grant programs.
Attached you will find the resolution with the formal request. I thank you in advance for taking this matter into
consideration.
