Budget Adjustment - Salary Adjustments
Staff requests approval of a budget adjustment in the amount of $126,769 to adjust the personnel
services categories of the residential program in the solid waste budget. Funds will be transferred
from solid waste fund balance for this adjustment.
The starting pay for solid waste positions was increased by 8.8% in January. All full-time
employees at that time were also given an 8.8% increase in hourly pay. Administrative positions
were excluded from the pay increases. The pay increases resulted from high turnover rates in the
solid waste division. The turnover rate had escalated to 50% by January 2000. The 2.5%
unemployment rate in Northwest Arkansas made it difficult to hire and retain garbage collectors for
$7.50 per hour. It is required that all applicants must have a commercial drivers license (CDL), or
obtain one within 90 days after their hire date. Applicants were also not offered benefits until they
were employed for 12 months. There were extended periods of time in which no applications were
received for vacant positions, making collection services extremely difficult.
With vacant collector positions and no applications, there was an immediate need to make
adjustments to attract applicants. It was decided in January to increase the hourly rate by 8.8% and
start offering benefits immediately. This change increased the average starting pay for garbage and
recycling collectors to $8.20 per hour without a CDL or $8.65 per hour with a CDL. The increased
hourly pay and offering benefits immediately has had a positive impact on the number of
applications received for vacant positions and has decreased turnover to date. It continues to be
difficult to retain employees after they get their CDL. There is a large demand for people with
commercial drivers license in Northwest Arkansas.
A budget adjustment was not requested when the hourly adjustments were made because it was not
certain at that time if the increase would have a positive impact. There was the possibility that the
hourly rates would have to be increased even more than 8.8%. To date, the hourly increases have
proved to help and staff can now more accurately predict the monetary impact of the increases.
