COMPENSATION STRUCTURE AND WAGE ADJUSTMENT GUIDELINES
resolution
WHEREAS, it is the goal of the County of DuPage to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel through its salary practices; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to provide consistent guidelines for establishing and implementing wage adjustments.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the County Board, that each County employee who is not covered by the provisions of a certified collective bargaining unit, or not currently represented in a collective bargaining negotiation, will receive a three and a half percent (3.5%) cost of living increase effective December 7, 2024; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the County Board, that a provision of any union contract which ties costs of living adjustments received by employees represented by said union to those received by non-union employees, commonly known as a “me too” clause, will take effect on the date specified within their respective union contracts; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the County Board, that in those cases where the wage adjustment would move the employee beyond the approved pay range maximum, the employee may receive the portion of the wage adjustment that is beyond the pay range maximum in the form of a lump sum payment; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the County Board, that the salary ranges may be adjusted based on review by the Human Resources Department; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the County Board, that the Director of Human Resources is hereby directed to ensure that these guidelines as well as any applicable policy line adjustments are implemented; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the County Board, that the County Clerk be directed to transmit copies of this resolution to all Elected Officials, Department Heads, and one copy to the County Board.
