AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SEWARD, ALASKA, AMENDING SEWARD CITY CODE
~ 3.10.035, STEP INCREASES
WHEREAS, in June, 1988, the City Council awarded a 2.5% pay increase to all
regular city employees; and
WHEREAS, it was the intent of the City Council and the administration to elevate
individual employee pay rates without adjusting the city's pay plan; and
WHEREAS, several senior city employees were at Step I, the last step in the city
pay plan, when this pay increase was awarded; and
WHEREAS, a new Step J was, therefore, created to allow these senior employees
to receive the 2.5% pay increase; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Council to adjust the city's pay plan by
formally adding Step J as the last step in each pay range;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SEWARD,
ALASKA HEREBY ORDAINS that:
Section 1. Section 3.15.035 of the Seward City Code is hereby amended to read
as follows:
3.15.035 Step increases.
A new employee, after serving a six-month probationary period of
satisfactory perfonnance, shall receive a step increase. An employee who has
transferred to a new position and who must serve a promotional probationary
period as defined in ~ 3.25.035, does receive a probationary step increase upon
successful completion of the promotional probationary period. A probationary step
increase is a special, one time only, step increase. For an employee to receive step
increases "e" and "0," he must continue to demonstrate satisfactory service of a
progressively greater value. Beyond step "0," employees are eligible for annual step
increases on each anniversary date thereafter up to "]" step. Step increases are not
automatic based upon longevity and are awarded only where the department head
feels the employee has demonstrated service of a progressively greater value,
progressively greater responsibility, and perfonned beyond what nonnallY would be
expected for the city during the past anniversary year. Satisfactory perfonnance
alone shall not be grounds for a step increase.
