Agenda 01/25/2022 Item #11C (Resolution - FY2022 Pay & Classification Plan Revisions)01/25/2022 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to adopt a Resolution approving revisions to the FY2022 Pay and Classification Plans for the County Manager’s Agency, County Attorney’s Office, and non-union EMS effective January 1, 2022; to consolidate certain pay grades and adjust the current pay ranges in the County Manager’s Agency and non-union EMS plans by 10%; to adjust the current pay ranges in the County Attorney’s Office by 10%; to provide adjustment to minimum and range penetration increases to address market conditions and internal equity for the County Manager’s Agency, County Attorney’s Office, and non-union EMS employees; and to provide continued authorization for the creation of new classifications, modification and/or deletion of classifications and assignm ent of pay ranges from the proposed Pay and Classification Plans, using the existing point -factor job evaluation system, and authorize all necessary budget amendments. OBJECTIVE: To administer a system of compensation based on principles of public accountability, external competitiveness, internal equity, relative complexity and responsibility between classifications, market economic conditions, County financial policies, and appropriate federal, state and local laws. CONSIDERATIONS: Attached with the proposed Resolution (Exhibit 6) approving the pay and classification plans for the County Manager’s Agency, County Attorney’s Office, and non-union EMS plans, including increasing the ranges, adjusting to the new range minimum and providing a range penetration increase, are five exhibits: Exhibit 1 is the County Manager’s Agency Pay and Classification Plan; Exhibit 2 is the County Manager’s EMS Pay and Classification Plan; Exhibit 3 is the County Attorney’s Pay Plan; Exhibit 4 is Evergreen Solutions Current State and Market Analysis Draft; and Exhibit 5 is the Additions, Deletions, and Modifications to the FY2022 Pay and Classification plan. The proposed Resolution shall apply to all regular full- and part-time employees under the administration of the County Manager’s Agency and County Attorney’s Office, except those employees under contract or who are subject to a Collective Bargaining Agreement. Such employees shall continue to be paid and receive increases in accordance with the applicable contract or governing Collective Bargaining Agreement. The County engaged Evergreen Solutions, LLC on June 1, 2021, to perform a Classification and Compensation Study for the County Manager’s Agency. At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on September 28, 2021, the Board approved the FY2022 Pay and Classification Plans. The associated Executive Summary included the potential consideration for early or mid FY2022 adjustments resulting from the Evergreen analysis, as well as future pay range or base range pay adjustm ents to comply with increases to the Florida minimum wage. The County reviews market position on an annual basis. In FY2016 the County confirmed the strategy to target the market with a competitive pay plan. Since then, maintaining a modest budgetary approach has resulted in the County falling below, trending from less than 5% below in February 2018 to over 10% below market in January 2021. Evergreen Solutions has completed their initial assessment of current conditions at the County Manager’s Agency and provided preliminary market data from comparable public sector agencies. To summarize the findings, over 75% of County Manager Agency employees’ salaries fall below the midpoint of the pay range. To provide context, midpoint is commonly considered to be the salary an individual could reasonably expect in the market for satisfactorily performing similar work. Additionally, preliminary salary survey results show the County’s starting pay is , on average, almost 13% lower than our surveyed peers when adjusting for the Cost-of-Living Index. An overview of local conditions provides the following trends that are also impacting the County’s ability to attract and retain talent: 11.C Packet Pg. 542 01/25/2022 1. As economic conditions continue to improve; it is imperative to remain competitive in the employment market to address Collier County’s historically high cost of living. According to the most recent State of Florida Relative Price Level Index Study for 2020, Collier County was ranked as the 2nd highest cost of living County in the State, which was 6.45% above the Statewide average cost of living. 2. The cost of housing in Collier County continues to rise. This was noted in an ABC7 News article on Saturday November 27, 2021 covering the story from data found on ApartmentList.com, indicating “nearly a 28% jump in rent prices in Florida from October 2020. In Naples, the increase is even higher. The report shows rental prices jumped from an average of $1,544 per month to $2,302 per month - a 49.1% increase.” 3. The Bureau of Labor Statistics released an updated Consumer Price Index on November 21, 2021. In this report, the region including Tampa - St. Petersburg - Clearwater, Florida shows All Urban Consumers experienced an 8% increase in the Consumer Price Index from November 2020 to November 2021. 4. On November 29, 2021, Naples City Council unanimously approved a two-year wage increase as part of their new labor contract. This contract included the following wage increases and other benefits. • 4% raise for fiscal year 2021-22 (retroactive to Oct. 1) • 5% raise for fiscal year 2022-23 • Christmas bonuses of $300 annually • Longevity pay annual incentive for long-tenured employees with at least 10 years of service, ranging from $1,000 to a max of $2,500 5. The Collier County Sheriff offers sign-on bonuses as noted below; the County Manager’s Agency has no comparable benefit. • A $1,500 sign on bonus will be awarded to all successful applicants appointed to full- time non-certified positions. • A $3,000 sign on bonus will be awarded to all successful applicants appointed to full- time certified positions. 6. Increasing County Manager Agency Turnover • At the end of FY2020, turnover was 11.4%, with 239 employees of 2,098 funded positions separating service. • At the end of FY2021, County turnover increased over two percent from the previous year, to 13.5%. 289 employees of 2,147 funded positions separated in that fiscal year. • To date in FY2022, there have been 92 employees who have separated since 10/1/2021, with 29 known separations in the coming months. Should that pace continue, the County could see nearly 370 staff leave before the end of this fiscal year, which would represent a turnover of 17.2% of funded agency positions. Evergreen Solutions, LLC estimates the cost to bring the County to a competitive market position ranges from approximately $16 million to $20 million, depending on whether the County wishes to meet or exceed today’s market. While best practice suggests that correcting pay in one step is ideal, the County Manager recommends distributing the budgetary impact across fiscal years with an intermediate step now and the consideration of another adjustment with the implementation of the FY2023 pay plan on October 1, 2022. The following actions are recommended for the County Manager’s Agency Pay and Classification Plan, 11.C Packet Pg. 543 01/25/2022 inclusive of non-union EMS positions, and County Attorney’s Office (recommendation #4), effective January 1, 2022: 1) Positions that currently fall into pay grades 102 through 108 in the County Manager’s Plan will be consolidated into pay grade 109; this will allow the County to proactively get ahead of Florida’s $15 an hour minimum wage for 2026. 2) Pay ranges for the County Manager’s Agency and non-union EMS Plans, grades 109 through 136, will be increased by 10%, rounded to the nearest hundred, to improve the County’s ability to recruit and retain individuals in all classifications. 3) Any employee whose pay rate falls below the revised minimum will first receive an increase up to the minimum of the new range. 4) Pay ranges for the County Attorney’s Office will be increased by 10%, rounded to the nearest hundred. County Attorney employees will receive a range penetration adjustment ranging from 3% (for those at the maximum of the range) up to 6% (for those at the minimum of the new range), varying formulaically in between and allowing for marginal differences in hourly rates due to system rounding. 5) Regular full-time and part-time employees of the County Manager’s Agency will receive a range penetration adjustment ranging from 4% (for those at the maximum of the new range) up to 10% (for those at the minimum of the new range), varying formulaically in between and allowing for marginal differences in hourly rates due to system rounding, and where necessary, pro-rated based on full-time equivalency (FTE). After the structure adjustments, these range penetration increases would equate to an average increase of 8.97% for employees in pay ranges BCC109 to BCC115, 8.81% for employees in pay ranges BCC116 to BCC127, and 8.27% for employees in pay ranges BCC128 to BCC136. The formula used to calculate Range Penetration for County Manager Agency employees is noted below: (((Max of their pay range]- [Employees Salary]) / ([Max of their pay range] - [Minimum of their pay range]) * (10% [maximum increase] - 4% [minimum increase]) + 4%) * [Employee Salary] The County has also been considering the return of merit pay or pay for performance. Evergreen has recommended deferring pay for performance to follow the introduction of a new pay structure and compensation/rewards program. If the County implements a new pay structure and compensation/rewards program on October 1, 2022, the start of FY2023, our consultant recommends implementing pay for performance no sooner than FY2024. Pursuant to Ordinance No. 13-40, the Board of County Commissioners has authorized the County Manager to make additions, modifications and deletions to the Pay and Classification Plan. The proposed Resolution seeks continued authorization from the Board to do so, as well as to assign pay ranges using the existing point-factor job evaluation system from the pay ranges set forth in the proposed Pay and Classification Plans, subject to a quarterly report to the Board. It also authorizes the C ounty Manager to hire or move employees within the pay plan and classification plan to promote the recruitment and retention of a highly qualified and professional workforce. 11.C Packet Pg. 544 01/25/2022 FISCAL IMPACT: The estimated cost of the associated pay plan and range penetration adjustments is $7,027,300 for the remainder of FY 2022. Costs allocated to General Governmental funds including the General Fund, Unincorporated Area General Fund, and those funds which are primarily funded by the General Fund like Transportation Fund (101) total $3,256,200. Costs connected with the Public Utilities enterprise family of funds total $1,686,600. Building permit and planning enterprise funds total $965,200 with all remaining funds totaling $1,119,300. While sufficient budget exists to implement the desired salary and compensation actions, budget amendments may be necessary to align budget within the appropriate personal service cost centers. Board members will recall that at the beginning of FY 2022, employees received $1,000 across all pay classification which averaged approximately 1.7%. This marginal increase was allocated at the beginning of FY 2022 on October 1 knowing that a complete overhaul of the classification and compensation system was forthcoming. Phase two costs intended for implementation in FY 2023 as recommended by Evergreen Solutions is forecast to cost approximately $10,000,000 with details to be presented as part of the FY 2023 Budget Policy. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There are no Growth Management Impacts associated with this Executive Summary. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. - CMG RECOMMENDATION: To approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the proposed Resolution; approve pay range consolidations, pay range increases, and range penetration pay adjustments effective January 1, 2022; and authorize changes from October 1, 2021 forward, including the creation of new classifications, modification and/or deletion of classifications, and assignment of pay rates from within the approved Pay and Classification Plans, subject to a quarterly report to the Board, if actions warrant, and authorize all necessary budget amendments.

Data included here reflect the conditions when the study began, and should be considered, as such, a snapshot in time (as of September 2021). The insights gained from this evaluation provided the basis for further analysis through the course of this study. The results of this evaluation were considered during the review of internal equity and the analysis of peer market data. Subsequently, appropriate compensation related recommendations were developed for the County and are described later in this report. 2.1 PAY PLAN ANALYSIS The County administered three open-range pay plans for employees; one designated as the Board of Collier County Commissioners plan, one as the County Attorney’s Office plan, and one as the Emergency Medical Services plan. As illustrated in Exhibit 2A, the Board of Collier County Commissioners plan supported 1,782 employees, and had 35 distinct pay grades. The range spreads (difference between the minimum and maximum) for these grades ranged from 55 to approximately 65.8 percent.

Identifying those areas where there may be clusters of employees’ salaries could illuminate potential pay progression concerns within the current plans. It should be noted that employees’ salaries, and the progression of the same, is associated with an organization’s compensation philosophy — specifically, the method of salary progression and the availability of resources. Therefore, the placement of employees’ salaries should be viewed with this context in mind. Below and At Minimum and At or Above Maximum Exhibit 2E, 2F, and 2G illustrate the placement of employees’ salaries relative to pay grade minimums and maximums. The exhibit contains the following: • the pay grades, • the number of employees assigned to the pay grade, • the number and percentage of employees with salaries below the minimum, • the number and percentage of employees with salaries at the minimum, • the number and percentage of employees with salaries at the maximum, and • the number and percentage of employees with salaries above the maximum. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 563 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 2 - Assessment of Current Conditions Employee Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 2-7 EXHIBIT 2E SALARY PLACEMENT FOR THE BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS’ EMPLOYEES BELOW OR AT MINIMUM AND AT OR ABOVE MAXIMUM BY GRADE Source: Created by Evergreen from data provided by the County as of September 2021.

Employees with salaries at the grade minimum are typically new hires or are new to their classification following a recent promotion; on the other hand, employees with salaries at the grade maximum are typically highly experienced and proficient in their classification. As Exhibit 2E illustrates, at the time of this study, there were 155 (8.7 percent) Board of Collier County Commissioners employees with salaries at their pay grade minimum, 11 (2.0 percent) at their pay grade maximum, and two (0.1 percent) with salaries over the pay grade maximum. As Exhibit 2F illustrates, at the time of this study, there were no County Attorney’s Office employees with a salary at their pay grade minimum or the maximum, and one County Attorney’s Office employee over the pay grade maximum. Exhibit 2G shows that 13.2 percent (20) employees in the Emergency Medical Services were at the pay grade minimum and five were at the maximum. No employees were below the minimum or above the maximum for their assigned grades. Recommendations for the employee’s salary to fall within a pay grade range will be provided in Chapter 5 of this report. Below, At and Above Midpoint Exhibit 2H, 2I, and 2J illustrate the placement of employees’ salaries in their pay grades relative to the pay grade midpoints (the average of the pay grade minimum and pay grade maximum) for the pay plan and the midpoint for the plans.

EXHIBIT 2J SALARY PLACEMENT FOR THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PAY PLAN BELOW, AT AND ABOVE THE MIDPOINT BY GRADE Source: Created by Evergreen from data provided by the County as of September 2021. Employees with salaries close to the midpoint of a pay range should be fully proficient in their classification and require minimal supervision to satisfactorily complete their job duties. Within this framework, grade midpoint is commonly considered to be the salary an individual could reasonably expect for similar work in the market. Therefore, it is important to examine the percentage and number of employees with salaries above and below the midpoint.

As Exhibit 2I illustrates, of the 15 employees in classifications in the County’s County Attorney’s Office pay plan, five (33.3 percent) employees had salaries below the midpoint, and 10 (66.7 percent) employees had salaries above the midpoint. Exhibit 2J shows that 114 (75.5 percent) of employees in classifications in the Emergency Medical Services Pay Plan are below the midpoint and, 37 (24.5 percent) of employees are above the midpoint. 2.3 SALARY QUARTILE ANALYSIS This section provides an additional analysis of the distribution of employees’ salaries across their respective pay ranges at the time of this study. For this analysis, employees’ salaries were slotted within one of four equal distributions. The first quartile (0-25) represents the lowest 25 percent of the pay range. The second quartile (26 -50) represents the segment of the pay range above the first quartile up to the pay range’s midpoint. The third quartile (51 - 75) represents the part of the pay range above the midpoint up to the 75th percentile of the pay range. The fourth quartile (76-100) is the highest 25 percent of the pay range. This analytical method provided an opportunity to assess how employees’ salaries are disbursed throughout each pay range, which can indicate whether clustering of employees’ salaries existed. Exhibits 2K, 2L and 2M provide a breakdown of placement of employees’ salaries relative to salary quartiles in the three pay plans and provide the following: • the pay grades, • the number of employees per pay grade, and • the location (by quartile) of the employees’ salaries within each grade. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 568 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 2 - Assessment of Current Conditions Employee Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 2-12 EXHIBIT 2K SALARY QUARTILE ANALYSIS FOR THE BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PAY PLAN Source: Created by Evergreen from data provided by the County as of September 2021. 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 4th Quartile # Employees # Employees # Employees # Employees BCC105 6 4 0 0 2 BCC106 137 86 21 20 10 BCC107 4 4 0 0 0 BCC108 3 0 0 2 1 BCC109 12 12 0 0 0 BCC110 28 19 8 0 1 BCC111 100 69 16 4 11 BCC112 245 139 55 36 15 BCC113 34 17 6 3 8 BCC114 188 96 39 27 26 BCC115 96 41 21 20 14 BCC116 96 31 31 14 20 BCC117 103 54 21 14 14 BCC118 86 42 21 12 11 BCC119 124 83 20 14 7 BCC120 74 42 21 6 5 BCC121 90 51 23 15 1 BCC122 21 7 10 2 2 BCC123 143 71 36 19 17 BCC124 27 15 5 5 2 BCC125 52 15 17 15 5 BCC126 40 8 18 10 4 BCC127 6 0 3 2 1 BCC128 23 1 13 8 1 BCC129 3 0 1 2 0 BCC130 28 10 11 5 2 BCC131 7 1 2 4 0 BCC132 2 0 0 0 2 BCC135 2 0 0 2 0 BCC136 2 0 0 2 0 Total 1782 918 419 263 182 Percentage 51.52%23.51%14.76%10.21% GRADE Total Employees 11.C.d Packet Pg. 569 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 2 - Assessment of Current Conditions Employee Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 2-13 EXHIBIT 2L SALARY QUARTILE ANALYSIS FOR THE COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE PAY PLAN Source: Created by Evergreen from data provided by the County as of September 2021 EXHIBIT 2M SALARY QUARTILE ANALYSIS FOR THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PAY PLAN Source: Created by Evergreen from data provided by the County as of September 2021. 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 4th Quartile # Employees # Employees # Employees # Employees CAO103 2 0 0 1 1 CAO105 6 0 2 3 1 CAO111 1 1 0 0 0 CAO112 3 1 1 1 0 CAO116 2 0 0 1 1 CAO120 1 0 0 1 0 Total 15 2 3 7 3 Percentage 13.33%20.00%46.67%20.00% GRADE Total Employees 1st Quartile 2nd Quartile 3rd Quartile 4th Quartile # Employees # Employees # Employees # Employees EMT02 37 24 5 5 3 PAR01 5 3 1 0 1 PAR02 32 31 1 0 0 PARCO 46 28 7 8 3 PFF02 2 2 0 0 0 PFFCO 27 10 2 4 11 PILOT 2 0 0 1 1 Total 151 98 16 18 19 Percentage 64.90%10.60%11.92%12.58% GRADE Total Employees 11.C.d Packet Pg. 570 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 2 - Assessment of Current Conditions Employee Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 2-14 As Exhibit 2K illustrates, employees’ salaries in the Board of Collier County Commissioners pay plan had the following distribution: 918 employees (51.52 percent) had salaries in the first quartile, 419 employees (23.51 percent) had salaries in the second quartile, 263 employees (14.76 percent) had salaries in the third quartile, and 263 employees (14.76 percent) had salaries in the fourth quartile. As shown in Exhibit 2L, employees’ salaries in the County Attorney’s Office pay plan had the following distribution: two employees (13.33 percent) had salaries in the first quartile, three employees (20.0 percent) had salaries in the second quartile, seven employees (46.67 percent) had salaries in the third quartile, and three employees (20.0 percent) had salaries in the fourth quartile. As illustrated in Exhibited 2M, the Emergency Medical Services pay plan had the following distribution of salaries: 98 employees (64.9 percent) in the first quartile, 16 (10.6 percent) in the second quartile, 18 (11.9 percent) in the third quartile, and 19 (12.6 percent) in the fourth quartile. The clustering of employees in the first quartile of the Board of Collier County Commissioners and Emergency Medical Services pay plans could suggest some salary compression concerns. 2.3 EMPLOYEE TO SUPERVISOR SALARY RATIO ANALYSIS Exhibit 2N, 2O, and 2P indicates the ratio of subordinate to supervisor salaries by grade. Employees were grouped into categories reflecting whether their actual salary was less than 80 percent, less than 95 percent, or greater than 95 percent of their supervisor’s salary. Less than 80 percent would indicate that the ratio of an employee’s salary to his supervisor’s salary would yield a result of less than 0.8. For example, an employee with a salary of $79,000.00 and a supervisor with a salary of $100,000.00 would yield a ratio of 0.79, and be placed into the less than 80 percent category. An analysis of the data reveals that most employees in the Board of County Commissioner’s pay plan are paid less than 80% of their supervisor’s salary. Pay grades 126 and 128 are two grades that have more than 10 employees with most in the ‘less than 95%’. This may warrant an examination of supervisor vs. employee salary. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 571 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 2 - Assessment of Current Conditions Employee Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 2-15 EXHIBIT 2N EMPLOYEE TO SUPERVISOR SALARY RATIO BY PAY GRADE THE BOARD OF COLLIER COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PAY PLAN Source: Created by Evergreen from data provided by the County as of September 2021.

The key points of the current structure were: • The Board of Collier County Commissioner’s, County Attorney’s Office, and Emergency Medical Services all administered open range pay plans. • 918 (51.5 percent) of the Board of Collier County Commissioner’s employees, two (13.3 percent) of the County Attorney’s Office’s employees, and 98 (64.9 percent) of the Emergency Medical Services employees’ salaries fell in the first quartile at the time of the study indicating salaries have likely not advances as expected. • The Board of Collier County Commissioners, County Attorney’s Office, and Emergency Medical Services all have a 75 percent or greater number of employees with an employee to supervisor salary ratio of ‘Less than 80 percent’, this should be reviewed to ensure it’s in alignment with the County’s compensation philosophy. The County and the Emergency Medical Services System’s pay structure provided employees with a structure plan and ranges. However, salary compression is a potential for concern with a heavy concentration of employee salaries falling within the first quartile. The method by which salaries have progressed and should continue to progress was examined and included merit increases, cost of living adjustments, special pay adjustments, and general wage increases. The County should continue to assess, should budgets permit, salary progression in accordance with the County’s compensation philosophy which will be discussed further in detail in Chapter 5. Additionally, the County Attorney’s office 10 (66.7 percent) employees above the midpoint may indicate that employees’ salaries are progressing (as expected) through the pay plan. Also, they do not have any employees with salaries ‘Greater than 95%’ of their supervisors. The information gained from this review of current conditions was used in conjunction with the market analysis data to develop recommendations for a competitive compensation structure (pay plans) that would best align with the County’s compensation philosophy moving forward. These recommendations can be found in Chapter 5 of this report. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 574 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-1 This chapter provides a market analysis comparing the County’s pay plan (salary ranges) and benefits to those at peer organizations. The data from targeted market peers were used to evaluate the overall compensation and benefits at the County at the time of this study. It is important to note that the market comparisons contained herein do not translate at the individual level and are instead used to provide an overall analysis. The utilized methodology is not intended to evaluate salaries paid to individuals. An employee’s total compensation (salary and benefits) is determined through a combination of factors, which could include: the market conditions for a job, geographic location of the organization, the candidate’s prior education and experience, and/or an individual’s negotiation skills during the hiring process. It should be noted that market comparisons are best thought of as a snapshot of current market conditions as of October 2021. In other words, market conditions can change; therefore, these market survey findings will be helpful for the County to remain current with its peers under the present market conditions. 4.1 SALARY SURVEY RESULTS Summary From the analysis of the data gathered, the benchmark classifications’ salary ranges were generally found to be below the County’s desired position of being competitive with the labor market. Furthermore, the analysis of actual annual salaries also showed that the County lagged the labor market. Detailed discussion of these findings and limitations will be discussed below. Salary Survey Findings Evergreen collected pay range information from target organizations utilizing a salary survey tool. The development of this tool included selecting the benchmark classifications to be surveyed. A cross-section of the County’s classifications was selected so that the surveyed positions made up a subset of all work areas and levels of classifications in the County. The job title, a description of assigned duties, and the education and experience requirements for each benchmarked classification were provided in the survey tool so that peers could determine if the position existed within their organization. Evergreen received concurrence from the County’s project team regarding the targets to which the survey was provided. Several factors were utilized when developing this peer list, including geographic proximity to the County, similar service offerings, organization size, EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC Chapter 4 – Market Summary 11.C.d Packet Pg. 575 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-2 relative population being served by the organization organizations to which the County is losing employees, and senior leader recommendations. This list focused on Public Sector employers as private sector market data is not as accessible. Data were analyzed with adjustments for cost of living. A total of 18 peer organizations (shown in Exhibit 4A) responded with data for the 90 benchmark classifications from which salary range data were collected. EXHIBIT 4A MARKET PEERS *Bold indicates data obtained from peer The County expressed a desire to examine its pay plan overall as compared to a competitive position (at the average) with the market. To determine the position of the existing structure, Evergreen compared the County’s 2021 salary ranges for the benchmark classifications to the average of the market. It is important to note that the averages in the subsequent exhibits reflect an average of the salary ranges reported by each peer for a given benchmark classification. The market range data presented in this chapter were not the sole criteria for the proposed pay ranges. Some classifications’ grade assignments varied from their associated market range due to the other factors, such as the results of our internal hierarchy assessment. More detail on this analysis is provided in Chapter 5 (will be in the final report). 11.C.d Packet Pg. 576 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-3 Exhibit 4B contains the following information:  The market salary range information for each classification. This indicates the average of the minimum, midpoint, and maximum of the peer survey data for each benchmarked classification.  The percent differentials (to the County’s existing salary ranges). A positive differential indicates the County pay range for these positions was above the targets’ average for that classification at the minimum, midpoint, or maximum. A negative differential indicates the County’s pay range was below the average for that classification. The final row provides the average percent differentials for the ranges’ minimum, midpoint, and maximum for all benchmarked classifications. This represents an average of all classifications’ differentials.  The survey average range width. This provides the average range width for each classification surveyed determined by the average minimum and average maximum salaries of the respondents, relative to the minimum.

Market minimums are generally considered an entry level salary for employees who meet the minimum qualifications of a classification. Employees with salaries at or near the range minimums typically have not mastered the job and probably have not acquired the skills and experience necessary to be fully proficient in their classification. As Exhibit 4B illustrates for benchmarked classifications, the County was, on average, approximately 12.5 percent below the average market position at the minimum of the respective salary ranges. Market Midpoints Market midpoints are important to consider because they are commonly recognized as the salary point at which employees are fully proficient in satisfactorily performing their work. As such, midpoint is often considered as the salary point at which a fully proficient employee could expect his or her salary to be placed. As Exhibit 4B illustrates for the benchmarked classifications, the County was, on average, approximately 10.5 percent below the competitive market position at the midpoint of the respective salary ranges. Market Maximums In this section, salary range maximums are compared to the peers’ average of maximums for each benchmarked classification. The market maximum is significant as it represents the upper limit salary that an organization might provide to retain and/or reward experienced and high performing employees. Additionally, being competitive at the maximum allows organizations to attract highly qualified individuals for in-demand classifications. As Exhibit 4B illustrates for the benchmarked classifications in the General pay plan, the County was, on average, approximately 9.1 percent below the competitive market position at the maximum of the respective salary ranges. 4.2 ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION QUESTIONS Included with the salary survey were additional questions related to compensation. The information provided in this section is a result of the analysis of peers’ compensation practices compared to the County’s current compensation practices. It should be noted that only a few peers provided data for this survey, so the comparisons are limited. The analysis below highlights the results of this survey. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 580 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-7 Compensation Information and Strategy Peers were asked questions about their pay philosophy, current pay plan, and how frequently their pay structure is reviewed. Two peers responded to these questions.  Pay Philosophy—The County did not have a defined pay philosophy at the time of the study. One of the peers indicated their philosophy was to lead the market with respect to pay, while the other responded that their philosophy was to match the market for pay.  Current Pay Plans—The County currently administered an open-range pay plan for its general employees, which was implemented in 2015, and a step plan for represented EMS employees, which was implemented in 2021. The two respondent peers, likewise, have an open-range pay plan for general employees and step plans for represented employee groups. Their pay plans were implemented in 2016 and 2019, respectively.  Pay Structure Review—The County reviews its pay structure every year, although changes are not always applied. One peer has its pay plan structure reviewed every one to three years. The other peer has its structure reviewed every two years. Merit, General Wage Adjustment, and Other Increases Additional compensation questions also inquired about organizational practices with respect to general wage adjustments - or cost of living adjustments (COLAs), merit increases, bonuses, and profit-sharing. Information was available from four peers, and comparisons to the County’s practices are summarized below.  General Wage Adjustments—The County provided a $1,000 adjustment up to the max of the range on October 1, 2021. In the prior fiscal year, the County provided a two percent or $1,200 adjustment (whichever is higher) to employees.  Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs)—Three peers indicated that they provided COLAs, with the average adjustment being around three percent.  Merit Increases and Bonuses—The County did not currently provide merit increases nor bonuses to its employees. Only one peer indicated they provided annual merit increases, which came in the form of a salary increase. If the merit increase exceeds the maximum of the employee’s pay grade, then the remaining increase was given as a lump sum. The peers did not indicate they offered bonuses to their employees.  Profit-Sharing—Neither the County nor the respondent peers provided profit-sharing to their employees at the time of the survey. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 581 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-8 Promotion and Demotion Practices Questions about pay practices associated with promotions and demotions were also included in the survey. Below is a summary comparing those practices with the County and five of its peers.  Promotional Increases—The County’s current promotional practice is to give up to a 10 percent increase in base salary when an employee is promoted, or adjust the salary to the new pay grade minimum, whichever was higher. The peers had similar practices of promotion increases ranging between four and ten percent.  Demotion Decreases—In the event of a demotion, the County would decrease the salary by no more than ten percent of the employee’s current salary. The exception would be in cases where the employee’s salary would be higher than the maximum of the lower pay grade, in which case, the salary would be further decreased. These practices were similar among the peers, who indicated the range of salary decreases would be between five to ten percent in the event of a demotion. Special Assignment Pay and Temporary Pay Additional questions solicited information about practices for special pay and temporary pay adjustments. Comparisons between the County’s practice and five of its peers are summarized below.  Temporary Pay—The County allowed for temporary pay for up to six months, which could be extended in six-month intervals with justification. The peers allowed up to a five to ten percent increase for temporary pay changes, subject to City Manager or County Manager approval. Extensions for temporary pay was reviewed in three- to six- month intervals.  Special Assignment Pay—The County allowed for special assignment pay, with the increase not to exceed ten percent of the employee’s base salary. Peers also allowed for special assignment pay, with the exact amounts being subject to City Manager or County Manager approval. Degrees and Certification Incentives Peers were also asked questions about certification and education incentive pay. Comparisons with four peers are summarized below.  Certification Incentives—The County allowed for certification incentive pay for certifications that were related but not required for an employee’s position. The County provided a salary increase for obtaining that certification; however, if the incentive would bring the employee’s salary beyond the midpoint, the remainder of that increase would be provided in the form of a lump sum. The peers also provided certifications that were provided in either lump sums (50 percent) or salary increases (50 percent). 11.C.d Packet Pg. 582 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-9  Education Incentives—The County did not provide education incentives to employees earning degrees that are beyond the minimum qualifications for their position. Two peers did provide salary increases to employees earning degrees beyond minimum qualifications; however, one of them indicated they followed State Statute for providing these incentives for Fire and Police only, and not general employees. Shift Differential, Overtime, Holiday, and Cost Savings Peers were also asked questions about shift differential pay, overtime pay, holiday pay, and whether they offered incentives for suggesting major cost savings related to process improvement, efficiencies, or safety enhancements. Comparisons between seven peers and the County are summarized below.  Shift Differential Pay—The County’s current shift differential pay policy was to pay an additional $0.70 per hour for shifts between 4:00 pm and midnight, and an additional $1.10 per hour for shifts between midnight and 8:00 am. One peer had similar differential rates of $0.75 per hour, while others paid shift differential in percentages ranging from three to five percent for shifts starting between 3:00 pm and midnight, and five to ten percent for shifts between midnight and 6:00 am.  Overtime Pay—The County and its peers provided overtime pay at a rate of one and a half times the employee’s base salary.  Holiday Pay—The County and its peers paid straight time to employees working on observed holidays.  Cost Savings—The County does not currently provide incentives to employees who may suggest or develop and/or implement a major cost savings, and one only peer detailed a policy for cost savings. This peer offered a cash award based on ten percent of net savings plus the cost of determining the savings, with the total incentive not to exceed $10,000. 4.4 BENEFITS SURVEY RESULTS In addition to the salary survey, Evergreen conducted a benefit survey to compare the County’s current employee benefits to those of its peers. The information provided in this section is a result of the analysis of the current benefits at the County and at each peer organization, which are subject to change. Benefit plans have intricacies that are not represented in this chapter; therefore, the data provided should not be used independently as a line-by-line comparison of benefits. It should also be noted that benefits are usually negotiated and acquired through third parties, so one-to-one comparisons can be difficult. The analysis below highlights the results of the benefits survey. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 583 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-10 Summary Some strengths of the County’s benefits package include the following:  Medical Deductibles-- The County’s medical deductibles for the Premium and Select tiers were lower compared to peers’ medical deductibles, which means employees would have to pay less out of pocket to meet their deductibles.  Employee Medical Premiums-- County employees paid less for family medical insurance compared to employees at peer organizations. The County’s offering of multiple dental and vision plans also allow employees to select more premium levels of coverage, should they need it.  Additional Insurance and Tuition Reimbursement-- The County’s offerings of additional and fringe benefits such as dental, vision, short term disability, long term disability, and tuition reimbursement are also aligned with peer benefits offerings.  Leave and Holidays—The County’s leave accrual rates were similar to peers’ accrual rates, and the County observed similar holidays as the peers. Some potential areas of improvement or consideration include the following:  More Tiers of Medical Coverage—The County currently has only two tiers of coverage: employee only and employee plus family. In contrast, all of the surveyed peers had four tiers of coverage: employee only, employee plus child, employee plus child, and employee plus family.  Basic Medical Deductible—Compared to the peers’ deductibles, this deductible was rather high, and the County could revisit options to lower that deductible, if it is feasible (although this may be intentional or by design based on how their Wellness incentive levels work). 11.C.d Packet Pg. 584 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-11 Data were requested from the same peers contacted for the salary survey and subsequently collected from the ten peer organizations identified in Exhibit 4C.

Comparing the employer paid premiums, the County paid less for the Basic-PPO family premiums compared to peers. The County paid about the same for the Select-PPO family medical peers compared to peers, but more for the Premium-PPO family medical premiums. The County’s employer paid premiums for single coverage were lower than the peers for the Basic-PPO and Select- PPO plan, but higher for the Premium-PPO plan. Comparing employee paid medical premiums, County employees, across the various grades (tiers), paid less family coverage for their medical insurance compared to peers at other organizations. Employees paying less for medical coverage, especially at the family level, is typically seen as a very strong benefit an employer can offer. The caveat to this comparison is that employees with only one dependent may actually be paying more for health coverage compared to employees at peer organizations. Comparing the employee only premiums, employees were, on average, paying higher premiums compared to employees at peer organizations. The County may want to consider adding the following tiers of medical coverage: employee plus spouse and employee plus child. Many organizations offer these intermediary levels of coverage, which alleviates the cost of health coverage for employees who need only to add one dependent to their medical coverage.

The deductibles for the County’s Premium and Select medical plans were lower than the peers’ medical deductibles, on average. The deductibles for the County’s Basic medical plan were higher, on average, compared to peers’ medical deductibles, and could be a potential opportunity of improvement for the County.

All of the peers, as well as the County, offered these insurances to their employees. Peers were also asked if they offer an incentive for employees to waive medical insurance coverage. Neither the peers nor the County provided incentives for waiving medical insurance. The County offered two different dental and vision plans (basic and premium or buy up), which provides options for employees who may desire additional coverage for dental and vision insurances. Offering different levels of coverage for dental and vision insurance provides the employees a beneficial option of selecting a higher level of coverage (e.g., orthodontics, dental implants, specialty eye wear), if they are in need of those services. The County also offered Basic and Supplemental Life Insurance, with the option for employees to lower their coverage to $49,999.99.

The County offered two plans to its employees: Florida Retirement System (FRS) pension plan (required by the State) and a 457 Deferred Compensation plan. Peers, on average, offered 2.6 retirement plans, which include FRS, 457, 401(a), and non-FRS pension plans. Among the respondent peers, 40 percent also offered FRS plans to their employees and 60 percent offered a 457 plan to their employees. FRS contributions are subject to state statute. The County contributed between $500-$3,000 to employees’ 457 plan, depending on their level in the organization The match provided is up to $500 for employees below the Division Director level; Division Directors or equivalents receive up to a $1,500 match; and Department Heads or equivalents receive up to a $3,000 match. Employees’ contributions were based on individual selections and subject to IRS limits. Retiree Benefits Exhibit G displays the comparisons of the County’s retiree benefits offerings and the peers’ retiree benefits offerings. All of the peers, and the County, offered retiree medical insurance. The County did not offer retiree dental and vision insurance; however, 80 percent of peers offered retiree dental insurance and 50 percent offered retiree vision insurance. The County, however, did offer retiree life insurance and 50 percent of peers offered retiree life insurance.

The County’s minimum (starting) annual/vacation leave accrual rate of 6.7 hours per month was lower than peers’ average minimum annual/vacation leave accrual rate of 7.5 hours per month. While the average maximum annual/vacation leave accrual rate for the peers was lower at 13.4 hours per month, compared to 16.7 hours at the County, County 11.C.d Packet Pg. 589 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-16 employees had to wait until 21 years of service to reach the maximum accrual rate.

Sabbaticals, and cell phone/reimbursement for cellular devices. Most of the peers (90 percent) and the County offered tuition reimbursement to their employees. This fringe benefit is typically one that employees appreciate and is frequently offered in the market, and the County should be commended for offering this program. The County did not offer pet insurance, paternity/maternity leave, sabbaticals, or cell phones/reimbursement for devices. These benefits were not commonly offered by peers either, with only 10 percent offering pet insurance, 30 percent offering paternity/maternity leave, none were offering sabbaticals, and 20 percent offering cell phones/reimbursement for devices. While those benefits may not be commonly offered in the current public-sector market, the County could explore these benefits as innovative ways to create a unique, competitive advantage for talent by providing low-cost fringe benefits to employees. While these fringe benefits would not be for every employee, they could offer opportunity for inclusion and diversity. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 591 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-18 EXHIBIT J FRINGE BENEFITS OFFERINGS Fringe Benefits Peer Percentage (Yes) Collier County, FL Tuition Reimbursement 90.0% Yes Paternity/Maternity Leave 30.0% No Cell Phone/Reimbursement for Devices 20.0% No Pet Insurance 10.0% No Sabbaticals 0% No 4.5 MARKET SUMMARY It should again be noted that the standing of a benchmark’s pay range compared to the County’s desired market position is not a definitive assessment of an individual employee’s salary being equally above or below market. The pay range does, however, speak to the County’s general ability to recruit and retain talent over time. If a range minimum is significantly lower than the market would offer, the County could find itself losing out to its market peers when it seeks to fill a position. It is equally true that range maximums lower than the market maximums may serve as a disincentive for experienced employees to remain at the County. From the analysis of the data gathered in the external assessment discussed above, the County’s pay plans were found to be below its desired market position. When comparing employee benefits, the County was found to be generally competitive with its benefits offerings; however, there were opportunities for improvement for a more enhanced benefits package. While all study findings and subsequent recommendations can be found in the next chapter of this report, it is apparent that immediate action may need to be taken by the County to alleviate current stressors related to unprecedented market conditions. Preliminary recommendations have been provided to the County to revise the current pay plan and to make appropriate pay grade changes until more time can be devoted to developing a total compensation approach. With this recommendation, Evergreen also provided the County with an implementation plan which could be utilized immediately. The method, which is referred to as Current Range Penetration best aligns with a compensation philosophy in which future salaries will be progressed based on factors other than the amount of time an employee has in the classification or the amount of time an employee has with the organization. This method essentially adjusts salaries due to changes in the market with the adjustments to individual salaries caused by the adjustments to the pay ranges themselves, which are recommended to be adjusted largely due to the changes seen in the market as presented in this chapter. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 592 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Chapter 4 – Market Summary Classification and Compensation Study for Collier County, FL Evergreen Solutions, LLC Page 4-19 If the intermediate step is taken, further adjustments based on range penetration and the County’s desired market position are estimated at 8 to 12 million. 11.C.d Packet Pg. 593 Attachment: Exhibit 4 Evergreen Current State and Market Analysis Draft (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) Pay Grade Minimum Maximum BCC110 $34,300 $56,900 BCC111 $36,000 $59,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC109 $32,400 $53,700 BCC103 $21,957 $36,406 BCC103 $21,957 $36,406 GRADUATE STUDENT INTERN INTGR $17.0000 per hour Increased pay rate based on market conditions HIGH SCHOOL INTERN INT01 $13.0000 per hour Increased pay rate based on market conditions UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT INTERN INTUG $15.000 per hour Increased pay rate based on market conditions Intern Classifications LIBRARY ASSISTANT MAINTENANCE WORKER PARKS AND RECREATION ASSISTANT Obsolete from pay plan; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC107 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC108 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 RECREATION WORKER - SEASONAL Obsolete from pay plan; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC105 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC105 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC106 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC106 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC106 due to external market conditions and consolidation of pay grades; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 CHILDCARE WORKER COURIER LIFEGUARD CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE LIBRARY PAGE PARKS & RECREATION PROGRAM LEADER Reclassified from pay grade BCC109 due to external market conditions and internal calibration; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 Reclassified from pay grade BCC110 due to external market conditions and internal calibration; pending BCC approval; proposed retroactive grade change to take effect 1/1/22 LINE SERVICE TECHNICIAN I Additions, Deletions and Modifications to the 2021 Fiscal Year Pay and Classification Plan October 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021 Pay Range CommentsClassification 11.C.e Packet Pg. 594 Attachment: Exhibit 5, adds, deletes, mods to pay plan - October through December 2021 (21110 : Classification and Compensation Plan) RESOLUTION NO. 2022 -______ A RESOLUTION APPROVING REVISIONS TO THE FY2022 PAY AND CLASSIFICATION PLANS FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER’S AGENCY, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, AND NON -UNION EMS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2022; TO CONSOLIDATE CERTAIN PAY GRADES AND ADJUST THE CURRENT PAY RANGES IN THE COUNTY MANAGER’S AGENCY, COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND NON-UNION EMS PLANS BY 10%; TO PROVIDE ADJUSTMENT TO MINIMUM AND RANGE PENETRATION INCREASES TO ADDRESS MARKET CONDITIONS AND INTERNAL EQUITY; AND TO PROVIDE CONTINUED AUTHORIZATION FOR CREATION OF NEW CLASSIFICATIONS, MODIFICATIONS AND/OR DELETION OF CLASSIFICATIONS AND ASSIGNMENT OF PAY RANGES FROM THE PROPOSED PAY AND CLASSIFICATION PLANS, USING THE EXISTING POINT-FACTOR JOB EVALUATION SYSTEM.
