Pay Supplements

A pay supplement is additional compensation added to an employee's regular base salary or hourly wage. It is typically provided to recognize specific duties, skills, certifications, responsibilities, working conditions or temporary assignments that warrant extra pay; assigned to employees meeting certain criteria or performing additional responsibilities beyond the standard requirements of a position.
 
Pay supplements are provided for employees after approval by the Department Director and the People and Internal Operations Department or as otherwise designated.  It is the responsibility of the concerned department to monitor employees’ eligibility for salary supplements.  Unless otherwise specified by the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, employees will become eligible for salary supplements effective the beginning of the next pay period following the receipt of all required documentation by the People and Internal Operations Department.  
 
Eligible employees in a classification assigned to a pay grade or non-step salary range may receive a pay supplement.  Pay supplements are additional components of pay which are added to an employee's base pay.  The types of pay supplements may be in the form of a step-based increase, percent or flat biweekly dollar amount.  The calculation of base pay plus supplements is defined as the employee's Adjusted Rate. The adjusted hourly rate is the rate used to pay all regular and overtime hours.
 
The Mayor, at his/her discretion, may change or eliminate any pay supplement designated for non-bargaining unit classified and exempt employees under his/her purview.
