County Name Wald
I. NOVEMBER 1. 1994 ANNUAL SALARY ADJUSTMENT
FUNDING FOR THE PROPOSED 21 TO 5 PERCENT INCREASE IS INCLUDED IN YOUR FTE
ALLOCATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 95. All classified Colorado Merit System positions
are to be adjusted step for step to corresponding salary grades as indicated in
the attached 1994 Salary Plan unless the county department chooses to offset the
adjustment. Positions are scheduled for increases ranging from 23% to 5%
percent. The increase is being applied to all skill levels and is based on
survey data used by the Colorado Department of Personnel .
Counties may implement the recommended salary adjustments or request approval of
the Merit System Supervisor to offset all or part of the increases. Please note:
Offsets can only be done in an increment of 2.5 percent, which equals one step.
If you intend to offset the salary adjustment for all employees in a salary
group, it may be necessary for you to lower the minimum step of your pay plan.
Remember, no employee may be paid below your selected minimum step. In addition,
any employee who is over the maximum step shall have his/her salary frozen by
moving him/her back one step. The county must explain financial circumstances
in section B, if an offset is requested.
A. Please indicate for each salary group if you choose a 5% increase, 2.5%
increase or 0% (A list of job titles for each salary group is on page 3)

B. Explain financial circumstances if an offset is requested. Written

presented in the space below or attached separately before the Merit System
Supervisor approval can be requested. If the same percent increase is not

I. MINIMUM/MAXIMUM STEPS
Only County departments who did not change minimum/maximum steps on January 1,
1994 may make a change. If you wish to make changes effective November 1, 1994,
please indicate those changes below.
A. X No change from January 1, 1994 plan.
B. _ Yes, a change effective November 1, 1994 (see below)
Establishing your minimum and maximum steps should be done very carefully and in
full consideration of those items mentioned in this section and any others that
are appropriate, such as market conditions, recruitment experiences from previous
years, and employee relations. Entry steps may be established at steps 1 through
8. It is recommended that your maximum step be established at no lower than step
11. Step 11 is considered to be the market rate based on our pay plans and
salary survey data for all classified positions in our system. The Merit System
believes that all employees should have the opportunity to aspire to the full
market rate for their respective positions.
NOTE: • If counties offset the annual salary adjustment, employees can not
be adjusted below the minimum step. In such a case counties may
wish to lower the entry step for one or more occupational groups.
• If counties raise the minimum step, all employees below this step
must be raised to the new minimum step and be granted the annual
salary adjustment selected.
• Any employee above the county maximum step will be adjusted back to
offset the annual salary adjustment.

SUBJECT: Annual Salary Adjustment for ovem r 994
DATE: September 26, 1994
Enclosed for Board approval is the Weld County Department of Social Services
Annual Salary Adjustment for November 1, 1994. The Plan has been reviewed by

The Adjustments reflect a 2 1/2% increase for all clerical employees and
clerical supervisors. All other personnel (technicians, caseworkers,
technical and casework supervisors, administrators) will receive a 5%
increase.
Although the timing of the increase is different from Weld County, the net

After your approval, the Plan will be submitted to the Merit System for their
review and decision.
