21. EXCEPTION TO COMPENSATION PLAN FOR RETRO ACTIVE SALARY ADVANCEMENT Approve an exception to the Maricopa County Compensation Plan Section VI.A. Salary Advancement to allow a salary advancement to be effective retroactively to April 20, 2009 for Jennifer Postlewaite, a Capital Mitigation Specialist in the Public Defender’s Office. The Maricopa County Compensation Plan Section VI.A. Salary Advancement states "the effective date of a salary advancement will be the first date of the pay period following the pay period in which the salary advancement request was submitted to the Human Resources Department for review". On June 30, 2008, Jennifer Postlewaite was not eligible for the market adjustment given to Capital Mitigation Specialists. On April 20, 2009, Jennifer Postlewaite became eligible for the market adjustment and should have been brought to the new minimum of the Capital Mitigation Specialist market range. However, the department did not submit the salary advancement paperwork at that time. The Public Defender’s Office requests that the Board of Supervisors approve an exception to the Maricopa County Compensation Plan Section VI.A. to allow a salary advancement to be effective April 20, 2009 for Jennifer Postlewaite. The cost associated with the approval of this retroactive salary advancement request is $1,315.15 (C-52-10-006-M-00)
