Duluth conducts an annual salary classification pay plan study to compare salary ranges with 14 other local jurisdictions. The survey helps ensure it can attract and retain qualified employees, avoid over-paying or under-paying employees and keepsthe salary structure up-to-date.
The study also determines if duties have been placed in the appropriate pay range.
This year, 11 positions were recommended and approved by City Council for a change in pay grade including the Parks and Recreation Director, Public Works Director, Clerk of Municipal Court, City Clerk, Public Information and Marketing Manager, Building and Development Inspector, Accounting Officer, Information Technology Technician, Information Technology Manager, Finance Manager, and Deputy City Clerk.
Changes will be effective July 2 to coincide with the first full pay cycle of FY17. The total impact for all 11 positions is $17,252.41.
