PURPOSE: To receive information and provide feedback to staff on employee pay and
benefits for FY 2011-12.
BACKGROUND: Staff has provided information relating to FY 2011-12 employee pay and
benefits in Attachments 1 through 4 and in Appendix A of the Manager's Recommended
Budget. The information provided includes background information on employee pay and
benefits over recent years and information on specific pay and benefits plan elements, including
employee and retiree health insurance, the County's living wage and supplemental retirement
benefits. Key components of the recommended employee pay and benefits plan include:
• No cost of living increase or in-range salary increase.
• Funding to address an employee health insurance increase up to 1.5.0%, effective
January 1, 2012.
• Increasing the Living Wage to $10.81 an hour.
• Implementing recommendations of the County's FY 2010-11 internal Classification and
Pay studies.
• Extending the six-month hiring freeze and the voluntary furlough program.
• Continuing the $27.50 per pay period County contribution to non-law enforcement
employees' 401(k) accounts.
Increasing the County's contribution to the Local Governmental Employees' Retirement
System (LGERS) for all permanent employees.
An essential part of maintaining the County workforce is its employee pay and benefits plan. In
the FY 2008-09 Budget, the Board approved the most recent increase in salaries, which
included a 2.25% cost of living increase and a 1.0% or 2.0% in-range salary increase based on
2
work performance. For the last four budget cycles, employee pay and benefits
recommendations have been heavily influenced by the downturn in the economy and focused
on maintaining the County's permanent workforce without increasing property taxes.
Substantial increases in employee and retiree health insurance costs, reinstatement of the
County 401(k) contribution and aState-mandated increase in the employer contribution to the
Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System have driven the Manager's
recommendations for funding employee pay and benefits in FY 2011-12.
As previously noted, health insurance costs are growing more rapidly than the cost of living.
With these rising costs, the County must have a clear strategy in place to manage the costs
appropriately, to aid in developing a healthy and high performing workforce, and to provide
useful information and direction to staff and employees.
The County's benefits consultant, Mark III, has received quotes (Attachments 1 and 2) for 2012
health insurance premiums from three major insurers (Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, and BlueCross
BlueShield). Attachment 3 provides details of current and alternate plan designs. Renewal of
the current PPO and HMO plans ranged from 117.86% to 130.0% of current costs. Alternate
plans for a PPO and Health Savings Account ranged from 104.58% to 115.63% with significant
changes to the current plan designs. The Board will approve a funding level for the health
insurance renewal in the FY 2011-12 Annual Operating Budget and will consider and approve
final plan design and premium structure in the Fall.
Attachment 4 provides a comparison of health insurance plan designs and other employee and
retiree benefits offered by other local jurisdictions and the State of North Carolina. The
attached survey and the Annual Classification and Pay Study conducted by Human Resources
confirm that Orange County remains competitive with regards to employee pay and benefits.
Employees have voiced concern over the lack of pay increases over the last few years, and
they have stated there should not be any change to health insurance benefits while salaries
remain at FY 2008-09 levels.
Overall, employees are satisfied with current County benefits with the exception of the County
contribution of $27.50 per pay period to general employees' 401(k) or 457 plans. Although the
annual contribution of $715 is not competitive with the 50 other counties that contribute to a
supplemental retirement program, the value that accumulates over time is significant. Over a
30 year period, the County contribution of $21,450 could more than double with an average
yield of 5.0% and triple with an average yield of 7.0%. In addition, with the reinstatement of the
County contribution in 2011, employee participation increased to a higher level than before the
suspension of the County's contribution in 2009. The County contribution encourages
employees to invest their own financial resources for retirement.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Attachments 1 through 4 and Appendix A of the Manager's
Recommended Budget include information about the estimated costs of various pay and
benefits options.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board discuss employee pay
and benefits for FY 2011-12 and provide direction to staff.
