SERGEANT MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION PLAN
Purpose
The Town and Police Department administration recognize that the job requirements for
the position of Sergeant are uniquely different from those of the rank - and -file employees.
The purpose of this plan is to establish a program and guidelines for a Sergeant
Management Performance and Compensation Plan pursuant to the following goals and
objectives:
1. Establish a salary system which recognizes the need to keep pace with the external
market and internal relationship of other employees, and recognizes the distinct
character of management.
2. Promote a system which minimizes conflict for Sergeants between Town goals and
objectives, and loyalty to rank - and -file employees because of meet and confer
obligations.
3. Establish a system which promotes better job performance and provides flexibility
in salary setting based on individual performance.
4. Promote the further identification with the management group and the understanding
of associated roles, loyalties and responsibilities.
5. Provide a system which allows for appropriate award for extra effort which results
in the improvement of Town services.
Policy
All economic provisions of the P.O.A. Memorandum of Understanding remain in effect
except as follows:
1. Salary ranges for Sergeants will be reviewed annually and will be adjusted in
accordance with the Management Compensation Plan as specified under "Salary
Ranges ". The top of the range is considered the control point.
An individual's compensation adjustment will be based on demonstrated performance
as documented under the Police Department's "Employee Evaluation Program ".
Adjustments shall be applied to the range and employee salaries, provided, however,
that for reasons of unsatisfactory performance an employee may be denied the
adjustment.

2. Salary progression within the range shall be reviewed annually on the date of
promotion to the rank of Sergeant. Upon initial promotion, the employee shall
receive a 5% salary increase above their base officer pay, not including any specialty
pay. Normally, within -range adjustments will be 5 %. Adjustments below and above
this amount are permitted; however, no increase shall exceed 10% and increases less
than 2 -1/2% are discouraged. Also, while salary adjustments will normally involve
increases, reductions may be made in instances of unsatisfactory performance.
(Note: All range adjustments are approximate; i.e., 4.98% or 5.02%.)
After an employee reaches the top of his /her salary range, the level of proficiency
appropriate to that salary rate must be maintained or the employee's salary may drop
below the maximum. This may occur through a direct salary reduction or failure of
the employee to receive additional increases which may be possible due to
adjustments in the range.
4. Exemplary performance awards are designed to recognize individual sustained
superior performance or a significant contribution to the Town service which exceeds
expectations or job requirements. These awards are recommended by the Chief of
Police and are discretionary on the part of the Town Manager. Awards may be
made on either a percentage or flat dollar amount basis each year up to a maximum
of $2,000.00 and shall be considered one -time, non - recurring awards.
5. Family Medical Insurance Premiums or a Cafeteria Benefit Program shall be
available to each Sergeant as follows:
A. Family Medical Insurance Premiums will provide payment of medical
insurance premiums equal to the "least cost" family medical and dental
insurance programs offered by the Town. The determination as to whether
this benefit is provided must be made on an individual basis between June
1 and June 15 or during Town designated open enrollment periods of each
year thereafter. Employees opting for this medical insurance coverage will
not participate in the Cafeteria Benefit Program.
B. Cafeteria Benefit Program allocations are utilized to "purchase" those items
which best suit the employee's personal needs. Benefits available in the
cafeteria program include medical insurance, additional life insurance, medical
examination, local health club membership, and deferred compensation.
The dollar amount allocated to this program is reviewed annually as part of
the market survey. Refer to Attachment "A" for further information.
