(c) Salary ranges shall be reviewed periodically to determine the market average for like level positions based upon a salary survey for such comparable positions. Recommendations to adjust the ranges may be presented to City Council.
(d) Base annual salaries for Directors and Executive Group members of the Mayor's staff shall be set by the Mayor within the range of the employee's designated Salary Group. Base annual salaries for Commissioners and Managers shall be set by respective Directors within the range of the employee's designated Salary Group, subject to the approval of the Mayor. Base annual salaries for the L group shall be set by the Director of Law within the range of the L-1 through L-4 employees, subject to the approval of the Mayor. Base annual salaries for Executive Directors shall be set by their respective boards or commissions within the range of the employee's designated Salary Group, subject to the approval of their Appointing Authority. The base annual salary for the Clerk of Council, the Director of the Plan Commission and the City Auditor shall be set by City Council within the designated salary range.
Adjustments in base annual salaries beyond the minimum for the range shall be in accordance with the following principles and guidelines:
1. In setting employee salary within the executive exempt groups, consideration shall be given to any significant market disparity for different positions.
2. Merit-based increases shall only be provided upon review of information obtained via objective performance reviews or other established criteria. The amount of any increase shall be determined at the discretion of the Mayor, or in the case of the L group, by the Director of Law subject to approval by the Mayor, where it is determined that such an increase is in the best interest of the City of Toledo, based upon review of objective information presented. Criteria that should be considered includes length or frequency of outstanding performance; regularity with which outstanding performance or unique contribution is demonstrated; overall significance or importance of the employee's work product to his/her department; whether the employee has new permanent job duties and/or responsibilities of importance to his/her department; and whether the employee has acquired additional competencies, which are critical in carrying out the functions of the classification.
3. Special circumstances may justify deviating from these guidelines in specific cases. Special circumstances shall include consideration of any special education, certification, or licensure that increases the employee's value to the City.
(e) Longevity Pay:
Effective the first full pay period in September of 1995, any employee in salary groups E-1 through E-5 who became employed by the City prior to July 1, 1982 and who therefore has received longevity pay, shall no longer receive longevity as a separately itemized payment. Such employee's longevity pay shall be incorporated into the employee's base annual salary by multiplying the longevity annual base rate by the appropriate percentage and including the result in the annual salary. Longevity pay shall be added to the employee's base annual salary based upon the employee's present longevity base rate or the rate as listed below if it is greater.
An employee promoted to the executive group after the first full pay period in September of 1995 who has been receiving longevity pay, shall have that pay incorporated into his or her base annual salary using this same methodology. The employee shall only have the amount of longevity pay from their permanent position prior to the promotion added to their new base annual salary.
Once longevity pay has been incorporated into an employee's base annual salary, the employee will not receive further automatic increases once the next plateaus of years of service for longevity pay purposes are reached.
