The recommended stipend is $2 .00/hour for field employees with a Class A CDL and $1 .50/hour for field employees with a class B CDL |\n| --- |\n| BACKGROUND / HISTORY: In January 2020 we discussed with the Commission the need to increase salaries for CDL license holders since recruiting employees with CDL's has been, and continues to be, extremely arduous. During budget discussions, the matter was not approved due to the forecasted COVID- 19 economic downturn. Habersham County has quickly recovered from the COVID-19 recession. |\n| FACTS AND ISSUES:\u003Cbr>1. There are 32 field positions in the Public Works Departments, 24 field positions in Roads & Bridges and 8 at the Landfill.\u003Cbr>2. These positions require employees to drive commercial motor vehicles.\u003Cbr>3. Of these 32 field positions only 16, or 50% of the positions are filled by employees with CDL licenses. This is down from 54% in January 2020.\u003Cbr>4. Operations, including routine maintenance and storm response, are being negatively impacted by the shortage of staff who hold CDL licenses.\u003Cbr>5. Recruitment ofCDL license holders is difficult due to the lack of pay differential between the positions.\u003Cbr>6. Employees with CDL's will perform added duties and responsibilities as a result of being licensed to operate commercial motor vehicles.\u003Cbr>7. The stipend pay will bring equity in salaries to reflect these additional duties. |\n\n8. The stipend pay will also help to attract and retain qualified employees with CDL licenses.  \n9. The additional stipend pay will also serve to motivate current employees to work towards obtaining their CDL license thereby increasing the department’s ability to manage work projects more efficiently.  \n10. Every field employee in Public Works with a current CDL license will be given a pay increase effective March 5, 2021.  \n11. The cost of the stipend will be $62,400 annually and $21,600 for the remainder of the fiscal year. ($23,252 .40 with FICA) .  \n12. Employees with a Class B CDL will receive a $1.50 per hour pay adjustment.  \n13. Employees with a Class A CDL will receive a $2.00 per hour pay adjustment.  \n14. Upon hire, new employees with Class B and Class A CDL licenses will be paid a starting salary with the added stipend.  \n15. Below is the current starting pay and the starting pay with added stipends.  \nOPTIONS:  \n1) Approve the recommended stipend pay for CDL license holders at $2 .00/hour for Class A and $1 .50/hour for Class B.  \n2) Deny the recommended stipend pay for CDL license holders.  \n3) Commission defined alternative.  \nRECOMMENDED SAMPLE MOTION: Move to approve the CDL License Stipend Pay for Habersham County Public Works employees.  \nDEPARTMENT:  \nPrepared by: Vinitha Robinson, MPA, PHR  \nDirector: Human Resources  \nADMINISTRATIVE  \nCOMMENTS:   \n_____________________________________________________________________________________  \n_____________________________________________________________________________________  \n   DATE:    \nCounty Manager  \n\n|  | A | B |  | C | D | E | F |  | G | H |  | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 1 | 0/1 | DEPT\u003Cbr>\\# |  | Employee | Hire Date | FLSA | Job Title |  | Grade | Step |  | Hourly Rate | Annual Salary | Standard\u003Cbr>Hours | Worker's\u003Cbr>Comp\u003Cbr>Code | W/C Rate | W/C Fee | FICA= 7.65% | New Hourly Rate | New Annual Salary |  |\n| 2 | 1 |  | 475 | Easters, Shawn | 4/7/2014 | Exempt |  | Road Superinte","cbCaiggeCB3I3TFQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiggeCB3I3TFQ","pdf",387322,"English","# Purpose\n# Background / History\n# Facts and Issues\n# Options\n# Recommended Sample Motion\n# Administrative Comments\n## Pay Adjustment Details","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the requested CDL stipend?\",\"answer\":\"To obtain Commission approval to implement hourly stipends for CDL license holders in the Roads \\u0026 Bridges, Public Works, and Landfill departments.\"},{\"question\":\"What stipend rates are recommended for Class A and Class B CDL holders?\",\"answer\":\"Class A CDL holders would receive $2.00 per hour, and Class B CDL holders would receive $1.50 per hour.\"},{\"question\":\"When would the pay increases take effect and what are the estimated costs?\",\"answer\":\"The pay increase would be effective March 5, 2021.
