A RESOLUTION IN THE MATTER OF ADOPTING
A SALARY SCHEDULE FOR THE UNREPRESENTED

WHEREAS, it is necessary to establish the salaries of the unrepre-
sented employees, and
WHEREAS, the Whatcom County Council has adopted the concept of a
salary grid of twenty -eight Ranges and seven Steps plus an Entry
Step in each Range as the basis for establishing salaries for the

Fund (standard care plan) currently in effect.
d) Life insurance in the face amount of $5,000 for each non-
represented employee. (Dependent coverage premium to be paid
by the employee.)
6) That County payment of premium for benefits of unrepresented
employees be made on behalf of employees who receive compen-
sation during a calendar month. Compensation is defined for
this purpose in this Resolution as payment of wages for work
performed, vacation, accrued sick leave, or other paid leave;
provided that -said work, vacation, and /or other paid leave
must equal or exceed payment for one - hundred and twenty (120)
hours in a calendar month. Income resulting from an industrial
injury to a maximum of twelve (12) months from the date of
the injury shall also be credited as compensation.
7) That except for the conditions outlined in paragraph 9), any
change in salary or classification of non - represented
employees covered by the attached Exhibits must receive prior
approval of the Whatcom County Council, except in a case
where implementation of the 3.88 increase authorized below
for employees reclassified or promoted in mid -year results
in their salary exceeding the stated salary in this
Resolution. Provided further that any non - represented
employee assigned initially to the entry Step of a Range
shall move to Step One of the Schedule in accordance with the
following schedule.
Employed during: Move to next Step, same year
January July 1st
February July 1st
March July 1st
April January 1st next year
May January 1st
June January 1st
July January 1st
August January 1st
September January 1st
October July 1st following year
November July 1st following year
December July 1st following year
Movement to Step Two will occur on January 1st of the year
following movement to Step One. Subsequent Step movements
shall occur on January 1st of each year.
Reclassification of non - represented positions will normally
take effect on January 1st of each year.
Individuals who are promoted or reclassified into a higher
level position will move to the step in the new Range which
provides a minimum of 3.88 increase in pay in lieu of their
scheduled annual pay Step. In the event a reclassification or
promotion takes effect at a time other than January 1st, those
individuals reclassified or promoted shall move to the next
step according to the above schedule.
8) That for the purposes of vacation schedule, sick leave bene-
fits, bereavement leave, jury duty, military leave, and paid
holidays, non - represented employees shall be entitled to the
same benefits as outlined in the Inside Collective Bargaining
Agreement provided that the eligibility requirements of
paragraph 6, above, and any special requirements of the
Inside Contract are met; and provided further, that the pro-
visions for overtime payment do not apply to non - represented
employees.

9) In the event a wage increase, or a step freeze should be
negotiated between the Teamster's "Inside" collective
bargaining unit and Whatcom County for the calendar year
1987, the non - represented employees shall follow the terms of
that agreement for the purposes of wages, step and benefit
coverage. That is, any wage increase, if negotiations con-
tinue beyond January 1, 1987, shall be retroactive to
January 1, 1987; any step freeze shall also apply to the
non - represented employees; any change in the benefit package
carriers shall also apply to the coverage of the non -
represented employees, and to any former employee eligible or
covered by:the Comprehensive Omnibus Budget Reform Act of
1986, (COBRA).
Should a step freeze be negotiated, non - represented employees
shall remain at the same step at which they were paid in
December 1986. Reclassified employees shall move to the
appropriate step in the new Range, but shall receive no
further step increase during the year 1987.
10) That in the event Whatcom County should ever be affected by a
strike of its employees, the County Executive is empowered to
authorize overtime pay for non - represented employees during
the period of the strike.
11) That in the event of clerical error and /or an non - represented
employee is not included on this listing, or a salary is
miscalculated, salary and benefits for said employee shall be
corrected and made retroactive to the appropriate date, but
in no case to a date earlier than January 1, 1987.
12) The Council recognizes that the County's employees are its mos
important resource. The exempt or non - represented employees ar
a unique and special category of employee that does not nego-
tiate for wages, hours and working conditions; has no formal
grievance procedure; has no job security or seniority and work
under the "employee at will" doctrine; in most cases has no
right to overtime pay, yet is responsible for high level deci-
sion making and ensuring effective and efficient programs of
services. The Council requests the Administration to review th
County's personnel policies and procedures and make recommen-
dations during 1987 regarding exempt employees to ensure a mot
vated and professional work force to conduct the public's
business in Whatcom County.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Resolution No. 85 -61 of the
County Council of Whatcom County, Washington, dated the 25th
day of November 1985 and all amendments thereto, are hereby
rescinded effective January 1st, 1987, and that this Resolutio
shall become effective that same date.
