Adopt a Resolution that amends the City's Basic Classification and Compensation Plan to add
three full-time job classification titles and provide an equity increase and title change for one full-
time job classification title in the Human Resources Department.
DISCUSSION
On September 18, 2018, the City Council adopted a resolution approving the use of a Third
Party Administrator to assume responsibility for the City's general liability and workers'
compensation claims administration. This action has resulted in a re -characterization of the
duties and responsibilities of staff assigned to these functions and will require reclassifications
into new job titles for affected staff in the Human Resources Department.
The Executive Director of Human Resources is proposing the creation of job classifications titled
Risk Management Analyst (UC) and Human Resources Clerk (UC). These classification titles
will better reflect the duties and responsibilities of staff formerly assigned to workers'
compensation and general liability functions. The salary rate ranges for these two classifications
are the same as assigned to the current staff; therefore, there will be no impact to the
departmental budget.
An additional change to the Human Resources Department's organizational structure, the
creation of a new Administrative Management (AM) job classification, will result in the ability to
provide services more effectively. This job classification will be titled Principal Human
Resources Analyst (AM) and will plan the operation of systems, implement programs, and
supervise staff for a functional area of the Human Resources Department. This job classification
title will be added to the Classification and Compensation Plan but no positions will be funded at
this time.

Finally, the Executive Director of Human Resources is proposing an 8% increase and job title
change for the classification Benefits and Compensation Supervisor (AM). The proposed new
title is Benefits and Compensation Manager (AM), which more accurately reflects the position's
level of responsibility and ranking within the Human Resource's Department organizational
structure. This classification oversees a multi -function area of Human Resources comprised of
both employee benefit and insurance programs as well as compensation and payroll -related
responsibilities. This new job title will align the duties and responsibilities of the position to
classification titles within the organization that have comparable levels of responsibility.
The equity increase recommendation is based upon the findings of a compensation survey that
analyzed internal equity among administrative management classifications. This survey
determined that the compensation assigned to Benefits and Compensation Supervisor (AM) is
below the rate assigned to comparable classifications in the City's structure, specifically Payroll
Manager (AM). The proposed compensation increase will match the rate assigned to this
comparable classification.
Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #7 - Team Santa Ana, Objective #6
(provide a positive workplace environment that supports the health of its employees and
celebrates its success and goals).
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost for the equity increase for the subject job classification is $4,818 for the remainder of the
fiscal year,. Funds are budgeted and available in account number 08109053-61000 Salaries —
