Pay plan OK'd for PTC workers
By JOHN
MUNFORD The Peachtree City Council has approved a pay plan that's slightly more expensive than original estimates, although the cost difference will be "saved" when some positions remain vacant during the year. The plan, which was unanimously approved by council at its meeting Thursday night, is $66,000 more than originally estimated. That was due to two recommended changes from staff one that gives a step increase to all employees with an outstanding evaluation in the past two years, and a modification to the formula for determining the length of time an employee has held his or her position. The raises recommended by the plan will be retroactive to Oct. 1. Nineteen employees appealed the initial results of a recently completed pay plan study, and changes were made to 11 of those positions. Five employees have indicated they want to appeal the results to council, and the plan was approved as a plan was devised to have several council members meet with the employees and representatives of city staff to try and resolve the complaints. City Manager Jim Basinger recommended that the plan be enacted with the additional $66,000 funded. The extra funds will help eliminate potential morale problems caused when employees with unsatisfactory evaluations get raises that bring their salaries close to those who have received outstanding evaluations, he said.
