A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE CITY OF SOUTH
BEND, INDIANA APPROVING THE CHANGE IN THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF
ANNUAL PAY INCREASES
WHEREAS, the City of South Bend, Indiana ("City") typically increases salary and hourly payroll
rates for bargaining employees, non -bargaining employees and elected officials effective January I` of
each year; and
WHEREAS, the date of January I" often occurs during the middle of a scheduled bi-weekly payroll
period and, thus, make the calculation of gross pay cumbersome for the Human Resources and Payroll
Departments because of the need to use different hourly pay rates for hours worked before January 1 s`
and hours worked after January 151, and
WHEREAS, the City budgets for salaries and wages on a cash basis using the new payroll amounts
approved in the collective -bargaining, non -bargaining and elected official salary ordinances, and
WHEREAS, under the current payroll procedure, some employees question the accuracy of their
gross and net pay amounts on their initial paycheck (and believe that they are understated) because some
of the hours earned are paid at the old payroll rate, and
WHEREAS, the City desires to be open and transparent with its employees and to process payroll in
an efficient and cost-effective manner.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of South Bend Board of Public Works as
follows:
1. The effective date of salary and hourly payroll increase will be the first pay date of the new year
and will cover all hours earned during that pay period, including hours earned during the
preceding calendar year.
2. The cost of implementing this resolution is approximately $33,000 per year and will be paid for
by departmental salary budgets during 2017. The cost will be included in the salary budgets for
future years.
3. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect after its adoption by the City of South Bend
Board of Public Works and will be retroactive to the pay date of January 13, 2017 and cover the
pay period dated December 24, 2016 through January 6, 2017.
