BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Exempt Compensation Plan sets the terms, compensation, and other working conditions for exempt employees in the Board Governed County Service Areas, Big Bear Valley Recreation and Park District, Bloomington Recreation and Park District, and the SBCFPD. To ensure consistency with operational needs, it is proposed that the plan be revised as follows:
.
• Clean up and modify language for the Major Fire and Disaster Response to allow the Fire Chief to be eligible for the compensation if approved by the Fire Board Chair or designee.
• Clean up language for Administrative Duty Compensation.
• Add clarifying language for Portable Communication Device Allowance.
• Add clarifying language to the Countywide Chief Officer Duty Pay.
• Update classification and salary range structure to reflect recommended changes and changes approved in the County’s Budget Report.
If approved, the changes will become effective August 10, 2024.
