Title
Budget Adjustment: Human Resources Request for $320,052 and 3 FTEs for the Pay for Performance Project
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: In the fall of 2021, the Salt Lake County Council passed legislative intent to support a new pay for performance plan to incentivize, reward, and retain high performing employees. The development and implementation of a pay for performance plan to meet SLCo's needs will be a significant multi-year undertaking and will require the need to hire consulting and time limited staff resources to develop and manage the implementation of the program.
The planning stage, which will take place in Year 1, will inform the larger pay for performance program and specific resource needs for future years. As such, at this time we are asking for funding for Year 1.
In Year 1 we will form committee(s) to engage and update County leadership and other stakeholders on planning and progress, review and revise HR policies to facilitate this new model, and engage managers and supervisors to ensure ownership and buy-in. Also, in Year 1 we will provide enhanced manager training on setting clear goals and expectations with employees and on providing critical feedback/handling difficult conversations. Additionally, we will explore interim steps to connect annual pay increases to employee appraisal scores.
