MANSFIELD — Mansfield City Council is expected Tuesday to discuss upgrades in pay ranges for about 50 non-union jobs within city government.
It’s an annual consideration, according to Sharon May, human resources director for the city.
The upgrade increases the pay at the low end of the scale or the high end of the scale. In many instances, it increases both. No specific pay increases are tied to the legislation.
For example, the current pay scale for the city’s fire chief and police chief is between $65,000 and $100,500, annually. The ordinance would increase the top of the scale to $103,000 for both positions.
The ranges are for the position, not the employee currently holding the job.
“When an individual is hired by the city, their pay falls within that range,” May said. “After that, it’s up to their (supervisor) to determine increases within that range.”
The legislation to increase the pay ranges is scheduled to be discussed during an employee relations committee meeting at 6:45 p.m. A vote on the ordinance, which would be retroactive to Dec. 25, is planned on Feb. 15.
