12.00-1-25; and be it further
RESOLVED, That the Cayuga County Legislature authorizes a temporary easement to Rebecca Hendricks on tax map no.

RESOLVED, That the Chair of the Cayuga County Legislature is authorized to sign any and all documents required to

ACCOUNTABILITY
Accountability measures the degree to which the employee is responsible for preventing errors and the
magnitude of those potential errors. In applying this rating factor, please consider the following: the
likelihood of errors; the possibility of error detection; and the probable impact of errors based on the
degree to which the work is checked by the procedures themselves, either by supervision, or by succeeding
operations. Consequences of errors, missed deadlines or poor judgment may result in damage to buildings
or equipment, increased labor and material costs, jeopardy to municipal programs, monetary loss, personal
injury, danger to public health and safety, etc.

Cayuga County Amended Compensation Plan Guidelines
Part IV, FT Managerial

Part IV of the Cayuga County Compensation Plan for non-bargaining, managerial, full-time employes is
hereby amended and re-stated to substitute the attached documents for the grading plan previously in
place for these positions.
The amended compensation plan provides the Human Resources Civil Service Department with the
tools necessary to evaluate and assign each position in this group an appropriate grade level consistent
with Cayuga County employment practices. The pay structure then provides guidance on the range of
compensation that may be offered to new hires in these positions.
It is the policy of the County of Cayuga to compensate its employees in a fair and equitable manner,
without regard to race, creed, nationality, age, familial status, marital status, military or veteran status,
sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, or any other protected
status under federal or state law and consistent with sound economic policy as set forth in the budget
established by the Legislature.
Accordingly, the Legislature has established the attached Grade Level Plan for each full-time position in
Part IV of the Compensation Plan. Using the Grade Level Plan as a guide, the pay structure establishes a
hiring position band minimum, midpoint and maximum. The compensation for all new hires shall be
within the minimum and midpoint of the salary band for the position. No new hire shall be hired at a
salary above the midpoint of the salary band without the express written approval of the Cayuga County
Legislature.
When a new job title is created, the Human Resources Administrator shall use the Position Rating
Manual, and such other information as may be relevant to assess the duties and responsibilities of the
new position and assign the position to an appropriate Grade Level. This assessment will determine the
Grade Level for such position and therefore, the hiring salary band for that position.
The Human Resources Administrator may modify or amend the Position Rating Manual or the Grade
level Characteristics Chart as deemed necessary or appropriate to improve the process for evaluating
new or existing positions. Once a position is assigned a grade, any change in the Grade Level for that
position may not be modified without the approval of the Legislature.
The Legislature may modify the compensation plan for full-time, managerial positions at any time as it
deems necessary and appropriate. The Human Resources Administrator is directed to conduct a market
analysis of Part IV, full-time, managerial compensation at least once every four (4) years to assure that
the compensation levels at Cayuga County are competitive within the marketplace. Upon completion of
such analysis, the recommendations of the HR Administrator shall be delivered to the Ways and Means
Committee for further action by the Legislature.
The Legislature sets the following mechanism for continued maintenance of the Compensation Plan

Page 12 of 14

Hiring Salary Bands so that it remains reasonably competitive within the marketplace.
Maintenance of the Cayuga County Compensation Plan: Hiring Salary Bands Part IV, FT
Non-Bargaining Staff
All the actions described below must be performed within the parameters of the appropriate Federal,
State and local laws and regulations, including Civil Service Law. Their purpose is to establish the
practices to be used to maintain the validity of the Part IV FT Non-Bargaining compensation plan as it
relates to new hires.
Comprehensive Review – The Part IV FT Non-Bargaining Compensation Plan Hiring Bands
shall have a comprehensive review every 4 years. At the direction of the Legislature, the HR
Administrator will undertake a search for a competent and recognized consultant / organization
with whom to contract who has the appropriate technical expertise, guidance, and resources to
perform this review. The HR Administrator will make a recommendation to the Legislature.
•

•
•

The review should include but not be limited to the market assessment of salaries
constituting the hiring bands, the placement of job titles in those bands, factors used in
determining grades and any remedial recommendations appropriate to resolve issues
raised by any modifications.
Upon completion of such analysis, the HR Administrator shall deliver recommendations
to the Ways and Means Committee for further action by the Legislature.
In addition, each year as part of the budget process, the Budget Director in consultation
with the HR Administrator will make a recommendation to the Chair of the Legislature
what, if any, increase the non-bargaining group will receive and the amount the hiring
salary bands will be adjusted.

Vacancy Review – Human Resources Administrator will do a full review of any position that
becomes vacant when the incumbent has served in the position for more than 5 years.
•

•

The department head may make a request for a review due to a vacancy in writing to the
HR Administrator if the incumbent has served in the position for less than 5 years. The
request should include a justification for the review, a detailed listing of the
qualifications, duties and conditions which have changed or are to be changed. If the
significant changes are made, a review of the position will be conducted.
Upon completion of the review, if the HR Administrator recommends a change in grade
for the position, such a recommendation will be made to the Chair of the department’s
oversight committee for the Legislature to consider.

Process for determining the starting salary for new hires covered by the Compensation
Plan for FT Part IV Non-Bargaining employees.
•
•

When a candidate for a non-bargaining position covered by this Plan has been identified,
the Appointing Authority will provide the candidate’s name to the Human Resources
Civil Service Office.
The compensation for all new hires shall fall within the minimum and midpoint of the

Page 13 of 14

•

established salary grade for the position.
The Human Resources Administrator will review the candidate’s application to determine
the starting salary. The HR Administrator shall make the offer unless otherwise agreed
with the Appointing Authority. The salary will be offered to the candidate.

Process for determining the starting salary for a current employee being hired into a new
position covered by the Compensation Plan for FT Part IV Non-Bargaining employees.
•

When a current Cayuga County employee has been identified for a new non-bargaining
position covered by this Plan, the same process for determining the starting salary
outlined for new hires will be followed.

Nothing contained in these guidelines nor in the amended compensation plan as described in the
attached exhibits creates or is intended to create a contract of any kind or nature whatsoever. Nor does
the attached amended compensation plan create an expectation of continued employment for any
employee. The Legislature retains its rights to fix the compensation of employees paid from County
funds pursuant to County Law § 205.
