  11. Flat % COLA • Pros • Easier to plan for annual budgeting • Gives all employees a wage increase • Cons • Too many reclassification requests because current grids don’t match area market pay ranges • 7 year lag to market would not be corrected • Percentage amounts on some grids are off and vary from class and levels; flat percentage would add to problem

  12. WIS Recommendation • Pros • Market is attainable at 5 years • Updated wages would help with retention and recruitment • Longevity steps reduced • Administrative and budgetary savings (fewer steps to administer and max would be 3% above market) • Cons • Tricky transition of grids when done in stages • Possibly discourages those with long-term service • Salary freezes in short-term for some employees
