FROM: Jack Louws, County Execu v
DATE: November 26, 2014
SUBJECT: 2015 -2016 UNREPRESENTED RESOLUTION
Before you for consideration are my recommendations for the Unrepresented Resolution. The most
significant element of this proposal is that it be effective for two years. This is reflective of the strength of
the recently adopted biennial budget that supports modest wage increases and the stability of the self -
insured medical p \program.
The new resolution carries forward most of the previous policy provisions. Proposed changes are
summarized below.
Term of Resolution
The resolution will be effective January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2016.
Across the Board Wage Increases
Each step in all ranges of the salary matrices will increase by 1.7% in 2015 and by 1.7% in 2016.
Binding Arbitration Adjustment
The salary matrix, Exhibit E, will increase an additional 1.2% in each range and step for approximate
wage parity with employees represented by the collective bargaining agreement for Patrol Deputies and
Sergeants. The salary matrix, Exhibit F, will increase an additional 1% in each range and step for
approximate parity with employees represented by the collective bargaining agreement for Corrections
Deputies and Sergeants.
Superior Court Commissioner
Following approval of ASR # 2015 -5159, the Superior Court Commissioner salaries will increase from
85% to 90% of the salary of Superior Court Judges as set forth by the State of Washington Citizens'
Commission on Salaries for Elected Officials. Because these salaries are not set by the County, the
minor annual increases added to the matrix for retention have been removed.
Paternity Leave
This allows employees to use up to 40 hours of sick leave for the delivery of a child by their legal spouse
and is consistent with state law and new language in the Master Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Other Language Changes
• Clarification of language for Interim Assignment pay.
• Added the provision that sick leave can be used to care for "dependent child as defined by law."
• The previous disability plan covering both the Sheriff's Deputies and the Sheriff's Office
unrepresented employees is no longer available to the unrepresented employees. Language changed
to provide for a "substantially equivalent" plan.
Should you have any questions on the details of the above changes, please contact Nan Kallunki via
email or at extension 50549.

PROPOSED BY: Executive
INTRODUCTION DATE: December 9, 2014
RESOLUTION NO. 2014 — 067
A RESOLUTION IN THE MATTER OF ADOPTING A SALARY SCHEDULE AND
POLICIES FOR UNREPRESENTED WHATCOM COUNTY EMPLOYEES
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2015 through DECEMBER 31, 2016
WHEREAS, it is necessary to establish policies and salaries for the unrepresented
employees; and,
WHEREAS, the Whatcom County Council hereby adopts the following policies for
administration of personnel issues affecting unrepresented employees; and,
WHEREAS, it is nonetheless understood that state law may override certain
stipulations set forth herein; and,
WHEREAS, the Whatcom County Council hereby adopts the concept of a salary
matrix as the basis of establishing salaries for a majority of the non - represented positions;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Council intends that the
Administration should follow the policies set forth below and should place non - represented
employees within the proper range and step according to the FTEs contained in the
adopted budget;
AND FURTHER, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 "Unrepresented employee" is defined as either elected officials or non -
represented employees.
1.2 "Elected official" is defined as only those officials elected pursuant to the
provisions of the Whatcom County Charter and Washington State Law (except Superior
Court Judges).
1.3 "Non-represented employee" is defined as all other unrepresented
employees who are appointed to a budgeted full -time equivalent position.
1.4 "Full -time equivalent" and "FTE" are both defined as the currently
assigned percentage, not to exceed currently budgeted full -time equivalency of a position,
as authorized by budget ordinance.
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 1
2. NON - REPRESENTED SALARY MATRICES — EXHIBITS A THROUGH F
Effective the full first pay period in 2015, each wage step in all ranges of the 2014 salary
matrices shall increase by 1.7 %. Effective the first full pay period in 2016, each wage step
in all ranges of the 2015 salary matrices shall
increase by 1.7 %.
The monthly salaries of non - represented positions shall be established within the
ranges and steps provided in Exhibits A through F. Exhibits A through F shall be effective
on the date listed on the applicable Exhibit and shall remain in place until changed.
Should a range not be available, a new range will be created which is either a partial range
at 2.15% above the previous range or 4.3% above the previous range depending on
circumstances. Monthly salary amounts indicated are for one (1.00) FTE. These amounts
will be pro -rated for fractional FTEs. Monthly amounts may be converted to an hourly rate
by dividing the monthly amount by 173.33
2.1 Sub - Ranges. Certain sub - ranges (as designated on the appropriate matrix)
were created to address supplemental compensation replacement for employees who
were receiving compensation under Executive Order 2004 -03. These sub - ranges are not
applicable to other individuals. The sub -range is in recognition of previously negotiated
compensation based on multiple assignments, varied duties, working far beyond the hours
required in a regular work week, evening meetings, and responding to emergencies in
order to minimize the cost of administration and provide the greatest flexibility for the
County. Employees in sub - ranges 500.1, 510.1, 510.2, 520.1, 520.2 and 525.1 are not
eligible for Interim Assignment Pay (section 4:6), Emergency Response Pay (section 4.10)
or Paid Administrative Leave (section 4.5).
3. OTHER NON - REPRESENTED POSITIONS — EXHIBITS G AND H
Other non - represented positions covered by Exhibits G & H shall be paid a monthly salary
effective on the date listed per the appropriate Exhibit, pro -rated for fractional FTEs, unless
otherwise noted.
3.1 Court Commissioners. Court Commissioners are to be paid at a rate
equivalent to a percentage of the comparable state Court Judge salary level. Any changes
in these Judges' salaries will be reflected in the comparable Court Commissioners'
salaries.

4. COMPENSATION & EMPLOYMENT
4.1 Step Movement. Within the salary matrices contained in Exhibit A through
H, all steps shall be awarded on the basis of successful job performance. A performance
evaluation must have been completed for employees in Exhibits A through D, G and H
within the last year and the most recent evaluation must be "3.38" or better overall to
advance on the step date to the next step per the time period indicated on the appropriate
Exhibit on the first day of the appropriate month.
4.2 Reclassification or Promotion. If funding is available within the authorized
budget, Department Heads can request a promotion or reclassification so long as it is in
compliance with County policy on reclassifications (AD140000Z) and it receives written
approval of the County Executive. Individuals who are reclassified (because of the
addition of significantly higher -level duties) or promoted into a higher position shall move to
the step in the new range as follows. The 'top wage step' is defined as the highest step in
a given range which includes an increase in the wage component (as opposed to an
increase in just the Recognition & Retention component) over the preceding step.
• For employees in Exhibits A, B, C, or D, if a 5% increase would place the employee
below the top wage step in the new range, the employee is placed in the new range in the
step providing at least a 5% increase. The reclassification or promotion date becomes the
next step date.
• For employees currently below the top wage step in Exhibits A, B, C, or D, if a 5%
increase would place the employee at or above the top wage step in the new range, the
employee is placed in the top wage step. The reclassification or promotion date becomes
the next step date.
• For employees currently at or above the top wage step in Exhibits A, B, C, or D, if a
5% increase would place the employee at or above the top wage step in the new range,
the employee is placed in the new range at their current step and maintains their current
next step date.
• For Exhibits E, and F, employees are placed in the step in the new range that
provides at least a 5% increase in base salary, not to exceed the top step of the new
range. The reclassification or promotion date becomes the next step date.
• For movement outside the employee's current Exhibit, if a 5% increase would place
the employee below the top wage step in the new range, the employee is placed in the
new range in the step providing at least a 5% increase. The reclassification or promotion
date becomes the next step date. If a 5% increase would place the employee at or above
the top wage step in the new range, the employee is placed in the new range at their
current step and maintains their current next step date.
4.3 Realignment. If funding is available within the authorized budget,
Department Heads can request consideration during the budget process, on the
appropriate form, realignment of positions the following January, which are paid at least
three percent (3.00°/x) below the average of at least four (4) of the six (6) comparable
counties (all comparable counties where matches exist must be used). Individuals moving
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 3
to a new range because of realignment of non - represented positions or ranges shall be
placed in their current step (but no higher than the top step) one range above their current
range. The effective date of the realignment shall become the step increase date.
Positions which are experiencing recruitment and /or retention difficulties may be looked at
during the year if funding is available within the current year's budget for the department.
4.3.1 Additional Considerations. In the administration of section 4.3 —
Realignment, in the event the County identifies a position as one with documented local
recruitment and /or retention difficulties then secondary comparables based on close
geographical location and sociological issues may be considered.
4.4 Position Movement. Individuals moving to a position in a lower range may
have a salary adjustment up or down depending upon individual qualifications for the
position, the nature of the work performed, and internal equity with no change to the next
step increase date.
4.5 Overtime & Compensatory Time Pay. , The provisions for overtime
payments and compensatory time (for working over 40 hours in a week) apply only to non -
represented employees who are covered as non - exempt by the Federal Fair Labor
Standards Act (FLSA). Employees requesting compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay
shall have such request granted up to a maximum of twenty -four (24) hours per calendar
year. Additional compensatory time may be mutually agreed to, but an employee may
accrue no more than a maximum of 80 hours of compensatory time at any time. By mutual
agreement, and per written approval of the department head, an employee may cash out
accrued compensatory time at the end of each calendar year.
In recognition of the contributions non - represented employees sometimes make in
working far beyond the hours required in a regular work week, and the fact that FLSA-
exempt employees do not get overtime or compensatory time, the Executive's Office has
authority to award deserving non - represented FLSA exempt employees up to five (5) days
of paid administrative leave per year. These days must be used in the year awarded
unless County business prevents this occurring, in which case they can be carried over
one year. Administrative leave may only be cashed out upon separation.
The Executive is empowered to authorize extra pay for non - represented employees
during a period of extraordinary circumstances (such as emergency conditions, a strike,
etc.).
4.6 Interim Assignment Pay. From time to time, non - represented employees
may be asked to cover all or part of the duties of a higher -level position during periods of
extended absence, vacancy, or for special assignments. In these instances, interim
assignment pay may be awarded. Department heads shall discuss appropriate rate of
interim pay with Human Resources prior to making the assignment. [AD146100Z]
4.7 Employment Opportunities. Non - represented employees who wish to
apply for a union position may do so by the posted closing date for union members. Non -
represented applications will be reviewed only if there are no current eligible and qualified
represented employees from the applicable bargaining unit who apply or who are selected
for the opening. The County, at its sole discretion, may or may not at that time select non-
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 4
represented employees for any type of opening, or may proceed with a public posting and
include the non - represented employees in the employment process.
4.7.1 Provisional Appointments. The County may make provisional
appointments for employees not fully meeting all requirements and qualifications. Such
employees will be placed in a range lower than the posted position, receiving at least a 5%
promotional increase (in compliance with section 4.2) and will not receive another
promotional increase upon fully meeting posted requirements. They will maintain their
step increase date when moved to the range of the posted position and be placed in the
step closest to but not less than the provisional appointment rate of pay.
4.8 Disciplinary Suspensions. FLSA- exempt employees are not subject to
unpaid disciplinary suspensions except in increments of full work - weeks, unless the
infraction leading to the suspension is for a violation of a safety rule of major significance.
4.9 Employment at Will. Employment for non - represented employees is at will,
which means either the employee or the County can end the employment relationship
without being legally required to give notice or a reason except as stipulated herein, by
County policy, or by law.
4.10 Emer_qency Response. Non - represented employees authorized in advance
and required to respond in person to extraordinary emergencies, and works anytime
between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday and any time on
Saturday or Sunday, shall receive a $100 stipend per incident. If an employee is not on a
pre- approved absence, and response to an incident is during normal hours but extends to
hours or days noted above, no stipend is awarded. If the incident extends beyond 24
hours from the first response by employee and additional responses are required during
times or days noted above, depending upon circumstances, an additional stipend may be
awarded. Pre - authorization for extraordinary emergencies eligibility is provided by an
employee's supervisor in advance with written approval of the department head for a
specific incident requested after the incident occurs. Final approval of a specific incident is
provided by the Executive's Office or designee. In the case of department heads, pre -
authorization and final written approval of a specific incident is provided by the Executive
or designee.
4.11 Recognition and Retention Premium. Recognition and Retention Premium
ceased to exist as a separate compensation item for all but Exhibit E as it was rolled into
applicable matrices.
4.12 Probable Cause Compensation. Any attorney in the Prosecuting
Attorney's Office required to appear on a Saturday or Sunday at a scheduled Probable
Cause hearing shall receive $175 for his /her appearance.
4.13 Nomination for Merit Step.
4.13.1 Merit Step. Non - represented employees who are not at the top
wage step of their assigned range may be nominated by the department head to the
Executive's Office for a one -step adjustment in recognition of documented exemplary
performance. A step adjustment for merit does not impact the step date.
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 5
4.13.2 Documentation. Documented exemplary performance for a merit
step shall include a performance evaluation within the last year with an overall rating of at
least "4.00" with no individual elements or sub - elements at or below the "needs
improvement" level. Additional documentation must be in writing and shall include specific
information as to the employee's contribution:
• to achievement of some element or elements of the strategic plan;
0 that has organization- or community -wide impact;
• to the completion of a specific, significant department project; or
• to a similar type of accomplishment.
4.13.3 Timing. Nomination requests will normally be submitted during the
budget process, but may be submitted any time during the year. Submission requires
funding to be available within the authorized budget for the department.
4.14 Binding Arbitration Adjustment. In recognition of the fact that two
bargaining units within the Sheriffs Office have access to binding interest arbitration,
unrepresented employees in the Sheriff's Office shall receive or be eligible for, on
approximately the same basis as employees directly reporting to them, the following items:
• Pay increases (non- represented employees only).
• The same basis for calculating Recognition and Retention Premium
(Longevity). Performance evaluation within last year must be 3.38 or better
overall in order to be eligible for the Premium (non- represented employees
only).
• The same annual clothing allowance if they must maintain a dress uniform.
• Medical coverage.
4.15 Ability to Cross Border. Employees must maintain the ability to cross the
Canadian border if they are assigned to a position which may at any time require crossing
the Canadian Border.
5. SCHEDULING
5.1 Work Schedule. The hours of operation may vary between departments
and divisions in order to better serve the public.
5.2 Alternative Schedule. Alternative scheduling allows the hours and the
basic workday or workweek of an employee to be modified from the department standard
to attend to County business or to accommodate a different schedule. Approval of
alternative scheduling for FLSA non - exempt employees shall not allow for greater than
forty (40) hours of compensation in any one work week, shall provide for no reduction in
service to the public, and must not increase the County's compensation costs. Alternative
scheduling requires the mutual agreement of the employee and the department head and
approval of the Executive's Office or designee. FLSA non- exempt employees may not
accumulate or not take lunch and /or rest breaks in order to shorten the workday or work
week.
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 6
5.3 Flex Time. Periodic flex time may be used for personal employee matters,
to make up doctor, vision or dental appointments, to attend meetings or to perform work on
behalf of the County. Approval of flex time for FLSA non - exempt employees shall not
allow for greater than forty (40) hours of compensation in any one work week, shall provide
for no reduction in service to the public, and must not increase the County's compensation
costs. Flex time requires the mutual agreement of the employee and the department head
or designee. FLSA non - exempt employees may not accumulate or not take lunch and /or
rest breaks in order to shorten the workday or work week.
6. LEAVES
6.1 Sick Leave. For the purpose of sick leave benefits, sick leave shall accrue
to each 1.0 FTE non - represented employee in Exhibits C through H from their date of hire
in the amount of eight (8) hours for each month of employment, if benefits eligibility criteria
are met, to a maximum of nine hundred and sixty (960) hours except as outlined below.
6.1.1 Part -Time Employees' Sick Leave Accrual Rate. Part-time
employees' sick leave accrual rate will be pro -rated per currently assigned, but not more
than their budgeted FTE.
6.1.2 Additional Accrual. A non -LEOFF II employee who has accrued nine
hundred and sixty (960) hours at the end of the last pay period of any year shall be allowed
to accrue up to one thousand and fifty -six (1,056) hours (960 hours + up to 96 hours
annual accrual) of sick leave during the year immediately subsequent. These additional
hours of accrual may not be cashed out. The employee's total accrual reverts back to no
more than nine hundred and sixty (960) hours at the end of the last pay period of the year.
6.1.3 Sick Leave Usage. Eligible employees may request sick leave as
accrued and it may be used in increments of less than one scheduled workday, but not
less than one hour for FLSA exempt employees.
6.1.4 Proof of Illness. Upon request, an employee shall provide the
County with proof of incapacitating illness or injury for themselves and all persons covered
by section 6.1.6.
6.1.5 Excess Sick Leave Contributions. Employees under Exhibits C
through H who have at least 960 hours in their sick leave bank the first and last pay period
of the year (or at the beginning of a calendar year and upon termination in that same year)
will receive a contribution into their Health Savings Account (HSA), if they have one, or if
they do not have an HSA, into a Retirement Health Savings (RHS) plan, based upon a
portion of the hours accrued but not used during the year. Sick leave hours accrued to a
maximum of forty -eight (48) hours will apply to a partial contribution to a Health Savings
Account or Retirement Health Savings Plan if less than forty -eight (48) hours of sick leave
are used that year. Calculation is based on 25% of eligible hours, paid at the rate in effect
at year end.
6.1.6 _Sick Leave for Family Care. Sick leave can be used to care for the
child, or dependent child as defined by law, of an employee with a health condition that
requires treatment or supervision, or for the care of an employee's spouse, domestic
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 7
partner, registered spousal equivalent (up to forty (40) hours per year), parent, parent -in-
law or grandparent with a serious health condition or an emergency condition. Domestic
partners must be registered with the Washington State Office of the Secretary of State and
spousal equivalents must be registered with AS -Human Resources prior to requesting sick
leave usage.
6.1.7 Sick Leave Cashout. A non - represented employee with three (3) or
more years of current, continuous employment with the County shall be entitled to sick
leave cashout upon voluntary separation, layoff or death in the amount of twenty five
(25 %) percent, or fifty (50 %) percent if hired before May 15, 1984, of accrued hours up to a
maximum of 960 hours. Employees must give at least two (2) weeks' notice prior to
separation to be eligible for sick leave cashout.
6.1.8 Sick Leave Sharing. Sick leave sharing is available to non -
represented employees per the County's Sick Leave Sharing Program. Each employee
may donate up to a maximum of twenty -four (24) hours per calendar year.
6.1.9 LEOFF II Accrual Maximum. LEOFF II non - represented employees
may accrue sick leave up to a maximum of one thousand, four hundred and forty (1,440)
hours. No more than nine hundred and sixty (960) hours shall be used as a base for
calculating sick leave cashout. If any hours are used per section 6.1.5 for partial
contribution to a Health Savings Account, if they have one, or if they do not have an HSA,
into a Retirement Health Savings Plan, any hours used in that calculation will no longer be
available to the employee and will be deducted from the accrual bank.
6.1.10 Sheriff's Office. Non - represented employees in the Sheriff's Office
(including Emergency Management and the Jail) who have employees directly reporting to
them who receive an additional five (5) days of vacation if they have seventy -five (75) days
of sick leave on December 31 of any year shall receive the same consideration.
6.2 Vacation. Non - represented employees under Exhibits C through H (except
court reporters and superior court commissioners) shall be entitled to vacation accrual
benefits if benefits eligibility criteria are met. Accruals for 1.0 FTE's will be in accordance
with the following schedule with the first employment year being the year hired and
subsequent employment years being the first of the year. Prior regular County
employment may be considered when determining employment year.
During 1 st through 4th employment year accrue 10.00 hours per month
During 5th through 9th employment year accrue 13.34 hours per month
During 10th and subsequent years accrue 16.67 hours per month
Vacation leave may be requested as accrued and approved and may be used in
increments of less than one scheduled workday, but not less than one hour for FLSA
exempt employees. No more than two hundred and forty (240) vacation hours may be
carried forward from one year to the next, otherwise unused vacation in excess of two
hundred and forty (240) hours at the end of the last pay period in any year shall be
forfeited. The express purpose of vacation leave is to allow employees to take time away
from work to relax, recreate and otherwise attend to personal matters. It is the policy of
Whatcom County that non - represented employees shall take the regular vacation time
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 8
allocated each year for the good of the employee and the County. If funds exist in the
department's current budget, by mutual written agreement between the non - represented
employee, the department head and the Executive's Office, vacation anticipated to be
above the 240 hours carryover maximum can be cashed out each calendar year in the
amount of 50% of accrued hours up to a maximum of eighty (80) hours. Upon separation,
accrued vacation hours will be cashed out at 100°/x.
6.2.1 Part -Time Employees' Vacation. Part-time employees' vacation
accrual rate will be pro -rated per currently assigned, but not more than their budgeted
FTE. FLSA non - exempt employees will receive extra vacation pay, on a quarterly basis,
based on extra hours worked above the assigned FTE (not to exceed equivalent of 1.00
FTE).
6.2.2 Compassionate Leave. Employees may donate accrued vacation
leave or paid time off to employees for the serious health condition (as defined by FMLA)
of an employee or as otherwise provided by County policy.
6.3 Holiday. Paid holidays will be available as posted on an annual basis for
non - represented employees (except superior court commissioners) who are in paid status,
or on approved voluntary unpaid furlough, the entire scheduled work day before and after
the holiday.
6.3.1 Personal Holiday. Each non - represented employee under Exhibits C
through G (except court reporters and superior court commissioners) shall receive one (1)
Personal Holiday each calendar year equivalent to their FTE on January 1 or upon hire,
not to exceed eight (8) hours. The Personal Holiday must be used in the year it is earned,
in increments of at least one hour for FLSA exempt employees. Personal Holidays are not
cashed out upon separation.
6.3.2 Working a Holiday. Employees who are required to work, because
state law requires an office to remain open on the December 24th County holiday
observance, shall receive two days off with pay.
Employees, who are required by their department head to work a paid County
holiday because of an emergency, a project that can only be completed when County
offices are closed, or special directive from the Executive's Office, shall receive two (2)
days off with pay at a mutually agreeable time.
6.3.3 Part -Time Employees' Holiday Pay. Part-time employees will
receive holiday pay based on their currently assigned, but not more than their
budgeted FTE. FLSA non - exempt employees will receive extra holiday pay,
on a quarterly basis, based on extra hours worked above the assigned FTE
(not to exceed equivalent of 1.00 FTE).
6.4 Paid Time Off (PTO) Bank. Each non - represented employee on Exhibits A
& B will, in lieu of accruing vacation, sick and personal holiday, accrue time into a Paid
Time Off (PTO) bank.
2015 -2016 Unrepresented Resolution — Page 9
6.4.1 Accrual. Accrual for 1.0 FTE's will be in accordance with the following
schedule with the first employment year being the year hired and subsequent employment
years being the first of the year. Employees appointed to an eligible unrepresented PTO
position will have their accrued and available vacation and personal holiday hours placed
in a PTO bank. Prior regular County employment may be considered when determining
employment year. Part-time employee's monthly PTO bank accrual rates will be pro -rated
based on FTE.

6.4.2 Short -Term Disability STD Bank. Each newly eligible employee will
receive a "one- time" deposit of 480 hours into a short-term disability (STD) bank. Part-time
employee's short-term disability bank deposits will be pro -rated based on FTE. The STD
bank can be accessed only after an employee has been absent and used PTO bank hours
to cover three consecutive work days for an illness or injury, for an approved
Family /Medical Leave, or to provide care for a family member under Family Care or Family
Leave. For each separate intermittent FMLA situation, only one period of three
consecutive work days charged to PTO needs to be met each applicable 12 -month period
before gaining access to the STD bank. Access to the STD bank may require a
physician's certification. Deductions from the STD bank must be for one hour or more.
The STD bank is not eligible for cashout at any time.
6.4.3 Sick Leave Bank. Employees appointed to an eligible unrepresented
PTO position will maintain their accrued and available sick leave hours in a bank, which
can be accessed only if the one -time STD bank is depleted. Employees may be required
to provide proof of illness or periodic health care progress reports per sections 6.1.4, 6.8.1,
6.10 and 8.1.1. Upon voluntary separation, layoff or death, the sick leave bank cashout
