After what many Huron County
councillors considered a shocking
impact on the 2015 budget due to
salary increases in February, some
councillors feel information needs to
be more readily available.
As reported by The Citizen in
February, results of the county’s
five-year job evaluation adjustments
meant an increase of $297,529 on
the 2015 budget. The increases were
spread across 46 employees, with
one employee receiving an increase
of over $14,000.
At the time, several councillors,
including Huron East Mayor Bernie
MacLellan, felt wages were getting
out of hand and called for a review.
At council’s July 8 meeting,
MacLellan was scheduled to present
his findings from the job evaluation
and pay equity process study, but
instead expressed his feeling of
wage increases creeping up on
council.
With a large impact of nearly
$300,000 on the budget, simply as a
result of wage increases, MacLellan
said he felt council should be
consulted before these impacts are
implemented without any input.
He used an extreme example,
saying if, under the rules the county
set up for its employees, salaries
were going to double across the
board, council should be informed
and consulted before such a change
is instituted.
Chief Administrative Officer
Brenda Orchard, however, said that
the senior management team was
simply following the directive that
council put in place a number of
years ago. The review only happens
every five years, she said, and staff
was in the process of catching up.
“If you create a tool, then you use
it,” Orchard told MacLellan.
The report noted that overall
salary increase for 2014 was 4.6 per
cent and of that figure, just 0.68 per
cent was due to the job evaluation
process.
Other factors that impacted the
budget, she said, were new positions
being approved in the budget,
employee movement through the
pay band and the increase to
Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
as a result of legislative
requirements changing from 24-hour
shifts to 12-hour shifts.
While MacLellan still felt uneasy
about the whole process, several
other councillors, including
Ashfield-Colborne-Wawanosh
Reeve Ben Van Diepenbeek, said he
was comfortable with the process
the way it is and didn’t want it
changed.
