II. TESTIMONY & DISCUSSION Chairman Benjamin J.F. Cruz announced Bill No. 268-32 (COR). He notified the room that the Committee would like to hear testimonies from Government of Guam employees first in order to minimize the wait time and expedite their return to their respective offices.

Javier M. Atalig, Jr. Mr. Atalig is in support of the pay raises based on the Department of Administration's claim that the government has improved its financial condition and that it has become "stable enough", the government should be able to afford the $20 million pay raise for GovGuam employees. He added that the legislature should make the right decision, as opposed to the popular.

Wes Tomokane, Social Work Student Alliance, spoke in support of the pay raises. He said that pay raises should help recent Social Work graduates decide whether to stay in Guam or go off island. He stated that he is pleased that Social Workers are the included in the Hay Plan.

While largely in support of the bill regarding Section 1, 2, 3, 9, and 10, Senator Anthony Lamorena, Executive Director, Civil Service Commission, stated in both his written (appended to this report) and oral testimony that he has concerns with the language in Sections 4, 5, 6, and 7 since it proposes "unreasonable" changes. In response to Senator Pangelinan's question to identify issues from the 2010 plan and what has changed in the Governor's new plan, and if those issues have been resolved, Senator Lamorena said that the prior issues mostly dealt with accessibility to the appeal process. He said that CSC worked on the procedure, which he said he would provide to the Committee, and DOA said that the inclusion of CSC in the final appeal process is in the final version of the Plan.

Edward Artero, Chief's Aide, Guam Fire Department, read written testimony submitted by Joey San Nicolas, Fire Chief, Guam Fire Department. The letter (appended to this report) is in support of the full implementation of the 2014 Hay Plan and opposes Bill No. 268-32 (COR).

Nadine Cepeda, Psychiatric Social Worker Supervisor, Guam Behavioral Health and Wellness Center, spoke in support of any pay raise but she said that her position is not included in the Hay Study. She's concerned about the disparity of pay. She wants the inclusion of position descriptions within her office that were left out of the Plan. She wants Appeal Process in place to review positions that were not included. She said that she's been working with DOA for the last two months and they have an appeal procedure in the works.

Vicente Garrido, GovGuam Retiree, Guam Police Department, spoke in support of pay raises but stated that retirees need an increase to the COLA that they receive as well.

Page 9: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada, spoke in opposition to pay raises for elected officials and political appointees and in support for pay increases for classified employees. But she opposes the pay increases for Mayors and Vice Mayors, specifically for those the hold those seats for the village of Dededo.

Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti, spoke in support of pay raises for GovGuam employees.

Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing and Urban Renewal Authority, spoke in support of pay raises for Directors and positions within the Executive Branch.

Daniel Perez, Private Citizen, spoke in support of Bill No. 268-32 (COR) and implementing the pay raise for GovGuam employees.

Gordon Mizusawa, Associate Administrator of Operations, Guam Memorial Hospital, said that GMH employees support the Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014.

Jon Nathan Denight, Deputy General Manager, Guam Visitors Bureau, read both his written testimony and a letter submitted by Karl Pangelinan, General Manager, Guam Visitors Bureau, in support of the Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014 (both letters appended to this report).

June Perez, Guam Memorial Hospital, speaking on behalf of GMH, testified in support implementation of pay raises.

Chuck H. Ada II, Executive Manager, Guam International Airport Authority, spoke in opposition of Bill No. 268-32 (COR).

Martin C. Benevente, President, Guam Housing Corporation, testified in support of the GovGuam Competitive Wage Act of 2014.

Chairman Cruz, having exhausted the list of employees wishing to provide testimony, recognized Benita Manglona, the Director of the Department of Administration. He also invited Shane Nauta, Human Administrator, Department of Administration, to approach the panel. The Chair then recognized Senator Michael San Nicolas, sponsor of Bill No. 268-32 (COR).

Senator Michael F.Q. San Nicolas gave his sponsor statement: "Today we seek to address the truth as it relates to the pay of our hard working employees, our mayors, our agency directors, the elected leaders of our island, and the financial position of the people's government. To date we have seen the truth distorted in the varying definitions in the words liability, obligation, deficit, and debt - words that all share the same fundamental truth - it is what we owe.

4

Page 10: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

"We owe our classified and unclassified employees fair pay that reflects their work. We owe our private sector employees a labor environment that offers competitive wages for them as well, and this starts with lowering unemployment on Guam. We owe our business community an environment of fairness that promotes their growth on the basis that no one is allowed to break the rules or have special deals because of their connections. We owe our mayors consideration for the work they do, aligned with the expectations of our people and what they believe is reasonable. We owe the victims of our island a legal system that protects our community, punishes our criminals, and promotes feeling safe in our homes and on our streets. We owe our students and our schools 90 million dollars in capital improvement projects, so that toilets flush, air cons work, roofs don't leak, and classrooms aren't overcrowded.

"We owe our students in the North, Central, and South new schools now, and a spending and development plan to replace all schools before they become a learning hazard. We owe equity to many employees in our judicial branch, attorney general's office, and other government positions who have been left out and left behind their on-island peers. We owe our community at least 100 more police officers, the cars and materials to support them, and street lights in our villages to deter criminal activity. We owe $30 million and counting to satisfy our Layon obligations related to our landfill, and closure finally to the issue of receivership. We owe education, health, and public safety a fully funded allotment schedule so that salaries are paid in full, materials are paid for on time, and operations are not put at risk. We owe our people a healthcare system that is not propped up on loans, late vendor payments, and a blind eye to the rising costs of medical care to our people.

"Above all, we owe the people of Guam a government, economy, and future outlook that reflects an improvement in their quality of life based on hard data and provable statistics. None of these things that we owe go away if we call it a liability, obligation, deficit, or debt - it is what we owe, it doesn't magically disappear with the next tax refund press release, and it certainly must not get swept away in the passion of election year politics. All of these must be considered in the context of what we are looking at with Bill No. 268-32 (COR) that includes: Follow through in pay for all of our rank and file employees.

• A reasonable increase for mayors. • Performance based pay for our Governor, Lt. Governor, and agency

directors and deputy directors, to ensure that unemployment goes down, crime goes down, healthcare costs are under control, student test scores go up, and education, health, and public safety are fully funded.

• And no increase for senators.

"This will set us on a course to make good on what we obligated ourselves to

5

Page 11: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

with respect to pay, and make quality of life not just a catch phrase, but an expectation tied to management compensation. We have a duty to make sure we can afford this, and we have a duty to make sure that when we spend the people's money, we are improving their lives. We must approach this in the context of everything else that needs to be done on Guam, and we need to do it free of fear and political consequence. This isn't a game, this is people's lives. It's not about you and me or what any one of us can get at the expense of another, but what we must start doing to build a responsible Guam."

Chairman Cruz recognized Director Manglona by asking if DOA was prepared to provide the information formally requested by the Chairman on Appropriations and the Committee on General Government Operations and Cultural Affairs.

Benita Manglona, Director, Department of Administration, spoke in opposition of Bill No. 268-32 (COR) and provided written (appended to this report) and oral testimony against the measure as proposed.

Chairman Cruz thanked the Director for her testimony but asked for a side-by-side comparison of the 2010 and 2014 plan.

Director Manglona noted that the presentation would provide highlights of changes occurring between the plans.

Chairman Cruz asked if a cost breakdown per agency was available with respect to the Governor's Hay Plan.

Director Manglona acknowledged that no breakdown was provided in the past and could not be provided today. The Director noted that the administration would manage cash flow to meet any need.

Chairman Cruz asked the Director for the implementation cost to DOE.

Director Manglona said that she did not have the information available.

Senator Pangelinan noted that the Governor's Plan would implement the Educator Pay Plan at 100 percent. He asked Director Manglona the dollar cost of a 100 percent implementation of the Educator Plan.

Director Manglona said that she did not have the cost for the implementation of the Educator Pay Plan or the Nurses Pay Plan.

The Committee Members continued to query Director Manglona and Mr. Nauta as to the cost of the Governor's Plan and the lack of parity in the application of the Governor's Meritorious Bonus Program. The same questions regarding each of the

6

Page 12: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

three pay plans included in the Governor's proposal were continually reasserted and unanswered.

Senator Christopher M. Duenas asked if the information, which has thus far gone not been provided, could be presented once the plan was approved "as is." The Director answered in the affirmative.

Chairman Cruz recognized Senator San Nicolas.

Senator San Nicolas acknowledged that current shortfalls in education, health, and public safety demonstrate that the government cannot meet current obligations. He noted that in the absence of a detailed cost breakdown, the Committee needed to recess.

Chairman Cruz recognized Senator Tommy Morrison

Senator Tommy Morrison asked the panel for the method and rationale behind each pay adjustment for Mayor, Senators, and the Executive Branch.

Shane Nauta, Human Administrator, Department of Administration, explained that legislative salaries are difficult to peg because of the political nature of Senatorial positions. He noted that legislative salaries lag nearly two decades behind the rate of inflation and that the proposed salaries are based on a fair comparison of comparable jurisdiction and job duties. He noted that the salary proposed for Guam legislators is based on the rates paid to other fulltime legislators and not part time or community legislators.

Senator Brant McCreadie said that government was doing better now than it was in 2014 and the Governor's Plan made sense. He asked how much was needed beyond the $20 million proposed and how much of a delay would be caused by "legislative tinkering".

Director Manglona answered that this was dependent on the amount of "tinkering" done by the Legislature.

Chairman Cruz referenced a set of changes between the 2010 plan and the 2014 Plan. He asked if he misheard Mr. Nauta's prior representation that that the 2010 and 2014 plans were identical.

Mr. Nauta noted that there were some modifications due to the rescindment of the original plan in 2011.

Senator Dennis Rodriguez, Jr., asked for the "Slot Sheets" that clearly stated where an employee is and would be under the plan as proposed.

7

Page 13: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

Mr. Nauta answered by saying that the justification for any changes or deficiencies in placement would be reconciled through the appeal process.

Senator Rodriguez asked by which timeframe would the appeals process be constrained.

Mr. Nauta responded that it would run from January to December.

Chairman Cruz thanked the Senator for his questions and asked Mr. Nauta how many formal meetings he had with HR managers throughout the Government of Guam.

Mr. Nauta noted that formal meetings did not take place because the meetings were not authorized by any administrative directive.

Senator Rory Respicio noted to Mr. Nauta made prior representations in which he stated that the 2010 was exactly the same as the 2014 Plan.

Mr. Nauta clarified that the changes regarding pay steps and grades are made on a daily basis and could account for changes made overly complex by a system that cannot operate on multiple logics.

Chairman Cruz recognized Senator Pangelinan.

Senator Pangelinan asked if Directors or Deputy Directors knew informally, or formally whether or not any Director knew where agency employees would be slotted.

Mr. Nauta said no.

Senator Pangelinan asked if the midpoint as it relates to the market and the "max" were the same between the two plans.

Mr. Nauta said the maximum has been lifted under the proposed plan but the midpoint remains the same as proposed in 2010.

Chairman Cruz stated that the Committee would be in recess until Monday, February 3, 2014, at 2:00PM and that any change in time would be announced. He then recognized Senator San Nicolas for his closing statement.

Senator San Nicolas reiterated his opening statements.

Chairman Cruz announced that Bill No. 268-32 (COR) has been heard but the Committee would stand in recess until Monday, February 3, 2014, 2:00PM.

AN ACT TO APPROVE THE DEPARTMENT OF· ADMINISTRATION'S IMPLEMENTATON PLANS OF THE 'GOVERNMENT OF GUAM COMPETITIVE WAGE ACT OF 2014' AND TO REPEAL §§ 6201, 6202, AND 6208, EACH OF ARTICLE 2, CHAPTER 6, TITLE 4, GUAM CODE ANNOTATED.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF GUAM:

2 Section 1. Short Title. This Act shall be referred to as the

3 "Responsible Competitive Wage Implementation Act".

4 Section 2. Legislative Findings and Intent. I Liheslaturan Guilhan

5 finds that Section +-2._of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68 required that by

6 January 15, 2014, I Maga'lilhi submit a final, implementable plan to adjust

8 authorized I lvlaga'llihi to cover either classified personnel only or classified

9 and unclassified personnel. On January 15, 2014, I Maga'lilhen submitted

I 0 the General Pay Plan (GPP), Nurse Pay Plan (NPP), Educator Pay Plan

11 (EDU), Attorney Pay Plan (ATrY), Executive Pay Plan (EXEC) and Salary

12 Recommendations for Rate of Pay Positions. The Executive Pay Plan

Page 34: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

includes many unclassified appointed positions and the Recommendations

2 for Rate of Pay Positions include recommendations to give substantial

3 raises to elected officials,

4 I Liheslatura further finds that Section 2(e), Chapter XI of Public Law

5 32-68 mandated I lVfa:;;,a'lii:hi submit a final. implementable plan to adjust

6 compensation, classification and benefits to I Liheslatura and that the plan

7 submitted by I Ma;;a'liihi to 1 Lihesiatura on Ianuary 15, 2014 did not include

8 details of the implementation of such plan, inclusive of the policies and

9 procedures, appeals process(es) for government of Guam employees, if

I 0 any, and other information regarding the slotting of emplovees into each

11 Pay Plan, among other cost and financial analyses performed bv I Ma:,:a'/iihi

12 and the Executive Branch prior to the submission of said plan, After several

13 attempts by I Liheslatura to request for such details of the plan submitted bv

14 I Ma'{a'lahi, I Lihes/atura continues to be unable to be provided the

15 necessary data and information from I Ma:,:a'!tlhi to act responsibly on a

16 final, implementable plan to adjust compensation, classification and

17 benefits for government of Guam employees.

18 Given the omission of such details and the lack of cooperation of 1

19 Mai:a'liihi, I Liheslatura finds that the plan as submitted bv I lVla!!a'liihi is not

20 implementable and that further details are required to be submitted until

21 such time I Liheslatura can responsiblv authorize the im12lementation of a

22 final, implementable plan to adjust compensation, classification and

23 bt::'.D.~fJts for government of Guam e1n}1loyees. Notwithstanding tl1e

2

Page 35: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

aforementioned omission of such details and lack of cooperation of I

2 l'v1a:.;a'Mhi, I Lihes/atura further finds that the employees slrnll be afforded a

3 plan that is retroactivelv effective to February 15, 2014, upon the

4 submission of the aforementioned details of the plan submitted by I

5 Maga'/ilhi to I Liheslatura.

6 I Lihes/atura wrther finds that classified and unclassified employees

7 of the government of Guam have patiently awaited their salary

8 adjustments since I Maga'lt1hi ,Coz;eni"r Eddie ~issued Executive Order

9 2011-02 on January 14, 2011, stopping implementation of the compensation

IO study and the corresponding salary adjustments and transferring such

11 appropriation for the implementation of said compensation study and

12 corresponding salarv adjustments to pay for the additional health

13 insurance premium pavments required by contract for government of

14 Guam employees and retirees in Fiscal Year 2011, pursuant to Section 3 of

15 Public Law 31-74.

16 I Lihes/aturn further finds that the appropriations allocated in Section

17 2(d), Chapter Xl of Public Law 32-68 were calculated with the inclusion of

18 the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Pav Plan. In the plan submitted by 1

19 Maga'/ilhi, it is stated that "[t]here is no recommendation for the Law

20 Enforcement Officer (LEO) pay plan due to the full impJementation of P.L.

21 29-105 which gave Law Enforcement and Public Safetv officers 30%

22 and40% adjustments. The recent adjustments have brought salaries of

23 incumbents covered ~av plan in relative parity with market pay.''

3 Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68_and re-allocate the appropriation.~

I MINA'TRENTAI DOS NA LIHESLATURAN CUA.HAN 2014 (SECOND) Regular Session

Bill No. 268-32 (COR) *As Amended by the Committee on General Government Operations and Cultural Affairs

Introduced by: Michael F.Q. San Nicolas

AN ACT TO APPROVE THE DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION'S IMPLEMENT ATON PLANS OF THE 'GOVERNMENT OF GUAM COMPETITIVE WAGE ACT OF 2014' AND TO REPEAL§§ 6201, 6202, AND 6208, EACH OF ARTICLE 2, CHAPTER 6, TITLE 4, GUAM CODE ANNOTATED.

l BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF GUAM:

2 Section 1. Short Title. This Act shall be referred to as the

3 "Responsible Competitive Wage Implementation Act".

4 Section 2. Legislative Findings and Intent. I Liheslaturan Guiihan

5 finds that Section 2 of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68 required that by

6 January 15, 2014, I Maga'liihi submit a final, implementable plan to adjust

7 compensation, classification and benefits to I Liheslatura. I Liheslatura

8 authorized I Maga'liihi to cover either classified personnel only or classified

9 and unclassified personnel. On January 15, 2014, I Maga'liihen submitted

l 0 the General Pay Plan (GPP), Nurse Pay Plan (NPP), Educator Pay Plan

11 (EDU), Attorney Pay Plan (ATTY), Executive Pay Plan (EXEC) and Salary

12 Recommendations for Rate of Pay Positions. The Executive Pay Plan

l

Page 42: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

I includes many unclassified appointed positions and the Recommendations

2 for Rate of Pay Positions include recommendations to give substantial

3 raises to elected officials.

4 I Liheslatura further finds that Section 2(e), Chapter XI of Public Law

5 32-68 mandated I Maga'liihi submit a final, implementable plan to adjust

6 compensation, classification and benefits to I Liheslatura and that the plan

7 submitted by I Maga'liihi to I Liheslatura on January 15, 2014 did not include

8 details of the implementation of such plan, inclusive of the policies and

9 procedures, appeals process(es) for government of Guam employees, if

10 any, and other information regarding the slotting of employees into each

11 Pay Plan, among other cost and financial analyses performed by I Maga'liihi

12 and the Executive Branch prior to the submission of said plan. After several

13 attempts by I Liheslatura to request for such details of the plan submitted by

14 I Maga'liihi, I Liheslatura continues to be unable to be provided the

15 necessary data and information from I Maga'liihi to act responsibly on a

16 final, implementable plan to adjust compensation, classification and

I 7 benefits for government of Guam employees.

18 Given the omission of such details and the lack of cooperation of I

19 Maga'liihi, I Liheslatura finds that the plan as submitted by I Maga'liihi is not

20 implementable and that further details are required to be submitted until

21 such time I Liheslatura can responsibly authorize the implementation of a

22 final, implementable plan to adjust compensation, classification and

23 benefits for government of Guam employees. Notwithstanding the

2

Page 43: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

1 aforementioned omission of such details and lack of cooperation of I

2 Maga'lahi, I Liheslatura further finds that the employees shall be afforded a

3 plan that is retroactively effective to February 9, 2014, upon the submission

4 of the aforementioned details of the plan submitted by I Maga'lahi to I

5 Liheslatura.

6 I Liheslatura further finds that classified and unclassified employees

7 of the government of Guam have patiently awaited their salary

8 adjustments since I Maga'lahi issued Executive Order 2011-02 on January

9 14, 2011, stopping implementation of the compensation study and the

10 corresponding salary adjustments and transferring such appropriation for

11 the implementation of said compensation study and corresponding salary

12 adjustments to pay for the additional health insurance premium payments

13 required by contract for government of Guam employees and retirees in

14 Fiscal Year 2011, pursuant to Section 3 of Public Law 31-74.

15 I Liheslatura further finds that the appropriations allocated in Section

16 2(d), Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68 were calculated with the inclusion of

17 the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) Pay Plan. In the plan submitted by I

18 Maga'lahi, it is stated that "[t]here is no recommendation for the Law

19 Enforcement Officer (LEO) pay plan due to the full implementation of P.L.

20 29-105 which gave Law Enforcement and Public Safety officers 30% and

21 40% adjustments. The recent adjustments have brought salaries of

22 incumbents covered by this pay plan in relative parity with market pay."

23 With the exclusion of the LEO pay plan, it is the intent of I Liheslatura to

3

Page 44: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

I exclude such amounts from the appropriations allocated in Section 2(d),

2 Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68 and re-allocate the appropriation.

3 It is therefore the intent of I Liheslaturan Guahan that the pay

4 adjustments to the hard-working employees of the government of Guam

5 shall be implemented pursuant to Public Law 32-68.

6 Section 3. Approval of the General Pay Plan (GPP), Nurse Pay Plan

7 (NPP), Educator Pay Plan (EDU) and Attorney Pay Plan (ATTY).

8 Appropriations contained in Chapter XI §2(d) of the General

9 Appropriations Act of 2014 shall be used for classified and unclassified

10 employees pursuant to §2 (e) of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68.7 I

11 Liheslatura hereby approves the General Pay Plan (GPP) contained in

12 Exhibit 1 appended hereto, the Nurse Pay Plan (NPP) contained in Exhibit

13 2 appended hereto, the Educator Pay Plan (EDU) contained in Exhibit 3

14 appended hereto, the Attorney Pay Plan (ATTY) contained in Exhibit 4

18 Section 4. Mayor and Vice Mayor Compensation. Notwithstanding

19 any other provision of law to the contrary, the salary for a Mayor shall be

20 raised from forty-six thousand sixty-two dollars ($46,062) per annum to

2 four dollars ($52,264) per annum.

4 contrary I Maga'liihen, I Segundu Maga'liihen, Senators in I Liheslatura, the

5 Attorney General, the Public Auditor, and executive officers in agencies

6 and instrumentalities of the government of Guam included in Exhibit SA

7 of this Act, appended hereto, shall not receive a salary increase pursuant

8 to this Act or §2 of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68.

9 Section 6. Salary Increment Schedule. Every classified employee

l 0 in Pay Grades A through X shall be entitled to a one step salary increment

11 for satisfactory performance. Employees at Step 1 through 6 shall be

12 entitled to an increment after twelve (12) months of satisfactory

13 performance. Employees at Steps 7 through 9 shall be entitled to an

14 increment after eighteen (18) months of satisfactory performance.

15 Employees at Step 10 shall be entitled to an increment after twenty-four

16 (24) months of satisfactory performance. Any employee due an increment

19 satisfactory performance.

FROM: Exectuive Director, Civil Service Commission

Buenas Senator San Nicolas,

Alberto "Tony" lamorena V Director

Thank you for the opportunity to offer comment on Bill 268-32, "An Act to Approve the Department of Administration's Implementation Plans of the 'Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014,' to Require A Performance-Based Standard for Directors and Deputy Directors of Line Agencies and I Maga' li!hen and I Segundo Maga' /tlhen. "

The Commission supports the portions of Bill 268 which seek to approve the General Pay Plan for classified executive branch government employees.

However, the Commission is concerned with language contained within Bill 268 which places authority over the granting of raises to certain cabinet-level and elected officials with the Commission. Under current law, the Commission's jurisdiction extends only to employees in the classified service. Additionally. the Commission's current jurisdiction is largely limited to adjudicatory functions with some duties for review of personnel actions across the executive branch. Bill 268 would place responsibility with the Commission over a group of employees who are unclassified; and it would give the Commission authority over compensation for this unclassified group of employees.

That responsibility should be placed with the entity that handles compensation matters on a regular basis and that is the Department of Administration.

Senseramcnte,

Alberto A. Larnorena, V

AN ACT TO APPROVE THE DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION'S IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OF THE 'GOVERNMENT OF GUAM COMPETITIVE WAGE ACT OF 2014', TO REQUIRE A PERFORMANCE· BASED STANDARD FOR DIRECTORS AND DEPUTY DIRECTORS OF LINE AGENCIES AND I MAGA'LAHEN AND I SEGUNDU MAGA'LAHEN.

Hafa Adai, Chairman Vice-Speaker BJ Crnz, members of The Committee on General Government Operations and Cultural Affairs, and Senators of the 32"J Guam Legislature.

Thank you for the opportunity to offer my testimony on Bill 268-32. Over the years, it has been my honor and privilege to be able to work among some amazing professionals who give so much of themselves for our island. As a Senator in the 31'1 Guam Legislature, and now as a member of the Executive Branch, I have seen. and experienced firsthand, the triumphs and the strnggles many encounter in doing government work.

What is required of a public employee. is really no easy feat, and often times - we literally work ourselves to physical illness. But despite the toll it can take on us, government employees remain committed to their work and continue to press on. Recognize we are all doing more with less. We've had to tighten our belts and make due with what we were given. No questions asked. We understood the financial state we were in. There are fewer government employees than in years past, however mandates continue to increase. Because of this. I stand in fu 11 support of the Hay Study implementation, to include all of our classified workers, all of our unclassified workers, and all of our elected officials- to include the Senators, Mayors. our Governor and Lt. Governor.

Credit should also be given to those who lead the way. As leaders of our island. and as representatives of our people, your role requires you to be on the job 24-7. You give up so much of your lives and personal time for the sake of our people. I think it is fair and just to compensate our leaders as well. for your hard work and dedication.

There was discussion ahout a part-time legislature, which would have reduced not just the salary for senators. but cut the time in which they were "on-duty." We all know that leadership roles in our community require you to be available to constituents 24 hours a day - whether you are at your office. at a grocery store, or even having dinner with your children.

Page 68: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

A point was also made that "You get what you pay for." I strongly agree with that' We would hope to provide attractive salaries, which would entice qualified individuals. and also entice people with a strong work ethic and education to back it up. I agree that the salary adjustments in the Hay Study would accomplish that.

It is easy to recognize that each of our employees, our directors. administrators and their deputies, make up the engine that keep the government going. Each and every one, work to ensure services are provided to our people. It's not enough that they have a job, hut they need a job to support their families.

Some people are working two. even three, jobs to keep food on the table, lights on in the house, buying school supplies for their children, keeping a roof over their heads. and a car to get them to and from work. Ifs one thing to say that our employees are hardworking. imagine demonstrating to them that they are worth their pay and more.

Dear Vice Speaker Cruz:

January 31, 2014

RE: Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014

commend the Governor and the Guam Legislature for addressing the various internal and external inequities in the existing compensation plan. I encourage this legislative body to consider implementing the Executive Pay Plan proposed by the Governor for the following reasons:

1) There is a need to attract quality candidates who are willing to serve as Agency Heads. Compensation for key leadership positions in the Executive Branch at the various departments and agencies should be commensurate with the experience, technical expertise, responsibility and accountability for that position's value of work. Today, there is little incentive or desire for a qualified career employee to accept an appointment to serve in the capacity of a department head.

2) The need for alignment of positions. Failure to adjust the Executive Pay structure along with the pay for classified employees will cause greater internal inequities between the civil servants in the departments and their respective agency heads.

3) Salary adjustments are overdue It has been over two decades since the base rate of pay was last adjusted for these key leadership positions in the Executive Branch.

In closing, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to present written testimony.

SUBJECT: Public Testimony for the Competitive Wage Act of 2014

Buenas and Hafa Adai. I would like to begin by thanking you for your favorable consideration to implement a long overdue upward salary adjustment for public employees and I offer my fu!! support in favor of such legislation

This is to encourage all Government of Guam Officials involved to carefully examine the policy and practice of implementing the new Hay Pay Schedule to insure that is does not have a discriminating effect on employees.

In 2010 the implementation of the Hay Pay Schedule for Government workers had a systemic discriminating effect on incumbent workers who were not provided the same level benefits that were provided to younger entry level workers and new hires. Specifically, the manner of implementation of the Hay Plan provided incumbent workers with approximately a 3.8% pay increase while younger, entry level workers were granted considerably more substantial pay increases, a 69% pay increase for entry level workers in the example provided here.

In order to accomplish this act of disparity, DOA set forth a practice of slotting incumbent workers in the pay step of their new pay grade closest to but not less than their current rate of pay+ 3.8% increase. Perhaps without exception, this meant employees that have received step increments over a long period of time through satisfactory performance were slotted into a lower step within their pay grade and therefore suffered disparate treatment by the loss of

seniority. Furthermore, this act appears to be contrary to 4 GCA 6202 establishing the salary step based on years of service. This same principle of step salary based on years of satisfactory service is similarly preserved in the new proposed compensation plan.

For Example: In 2010, An Employee at pay grade N, Step 8 was earning $43,490 per annum after nine (9) years of satisfactory service to the Government of Guam.

Upon implementation of the new Hay Plan in 2010, this Employee was slotted into the new General Pay Plan at Pay Grade N, step 1, $45,014. ENTRY LEVEL WAGES for his field

without regard to his nine (9) years of service! Simultaneously, the young, new hire or entry level worker at pay grade N, 1 enjoyed a 69% increase in his salary and was now earning the

Page 71: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

same salary as the nine (9) year senior incumbent worker whom was also tasked to train and oversee the work of this new hire. This resulted in disparity, dissatisfaction and an overall feeling that the contributions over time by senior employees were not appreciated by the Employer.

Every incumbent employee in the classified service of Government of Guam under the General Pay Plan suffered similar disparate treatment in the manner that the new Hay Plan was implemented in 2010. This group of discriminated employees are among the most experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled workers in the Government. They compose the backbone of the Government's workforce and are largely over the age of 40 years and compose protected group under the Civil Rights Act.

This was systemic discriminatory placement of incumbent employees and recourse was looming. The Federal EEOC is committed to eradicating systemic policy discrimination and practices in the workplace. For this reason, the systemic program has become a top priority of the agency to aggressively pursue class-action type claims of discrimination against employers for "systemic discrimination" charges. EEOC is taking aggressive positions regarding damages for affected classes of employees.

Interestingly, these same concerns and others also surfaced in 1990 when the Government of Guam last considered raising government salaries. To remedy the problem, the legislative body at the time resorted to the implementation of a $5,440 across the board pay raise for all classified employees.

In review of the existing Pay Schedule currently set forth in 4 GCA 6, it is noted that pay grade G is the lowest pay grade for exempt status or salaried employees in the Government of Guam. Pay grade G, Step 1 provides for a salary of $18,723 per annum. This compensation rate is $4,937 less than the $455 salary per week or $23,660 per annum established in federal mandate for exempt employees.

Therefore and in consideration that many positions such as teachers, nurses and police officers have had recent upward salary adjustments and that employee whom are still compensated in accordance with the pay schedule set forth in the 4 GCA 6201 have been overlooked, have not seen any salary adjustment for 23 years and have suffered the greatest disparity and hardship for over the last two decades, I am proposing a $4,973 annual salary increase, across the board pay increase for all pay grades and steps of employees whom are still being compensated in accordance with 4 GCA 6201. This is a more affordable and equitable alternative to the proposed plan.

I will be available to meet and discuss this in more detail upon request. Thank you for your time and attention to my letter.

Sincerely,

ROBERT E. KOSS, Employee/Management Relations Officer for the Department of Education

Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014

Buen as Yan Hafa Adai !

As the President of the Guam Housing Corporation, I am in support of the "Government of

Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014" Pursuant to P.L. 32-068. This Act will provide just

compensation to the well-deserved Government of Guam employees. Our Government has

done more with less these past years and it is through the hard work of the Government of

Guam employees that makes this Act all the more fair and reasonable and yet, affordable to the

Government of Guam.

Additionally, as a former Commissioner of Dededo, I recognize the many duties and

responsibilities every village mayor and their staff are faced with on a daily basis, weekends

included, and many times, above and beyond the call of duty. Twelve hour work days were not

uncommon. In fact, these hours were considered a normal work day. All these conditions

considered, the current $46,000.00 annual salary of a mayor, equates to just $10.62 an hour,

not including any additional 24 on-call hours they may work. At the proposed compensation

schedule, the mayors will realize an increase to $17.20 an hour or $75,000.00 annually. This is

rational adjustment for the work and hours expected by their constituency, which is also

warranted and justified. The mayors, just like other Government of Guam employees, deserve

it. I encourage this honorable legislative body to implement the Government of Guam

Compensation Act of 2014 - P.L. 32-068.

Re: Salary Increase for Employees

Dear Senator Cruz:

JESSIE P. BAU11STA VICE MAYOR

Bueiias yan Hafa Adai para todos HamJm ginen i segundu mayo! yan guahu, kumu mayo!, yan membros i Konsehelun municipal Barrigada' Vice Mayor Jessie P. Bautista and I fully support the salary increase for employees. Although the raise will be implemented incrementally, with half of the proposed increase to be added to current wages in February and a full increase to be implemented by August. Ifs a salary increase that is well deserved for their sometimes tireless and unappreciated work.

When we talk about fairness, let us not forget that in 20 I 0, the Hay Group found that the government of Guam was compensating its employees 59% less than what the U.S. market pays.

It is rather sad that the issue of granting salary increases to our employees have now become a political football awaiting the kickoff of the 2014 election year. When the time comes, our employees, together with the Vice Mayor and myself, stand in the forefront to address the problems immediately. During the recent rainstorms and tropical disturbances, it is these employees you see trying to make life a bit easier for all of us.

If the intent of Bill 268, "The responsible Competitive Wage Implementation Act," sponsored by Senator Michael San Nicolas, is to support salary increases for the rank and file classified and unclassified employees, then I challenge him to enact legislation establishing an "Elected Officials' Compensation Commission". thereby removing elected officials from the classification pay schedule of our dedicated employees (both classified and unclassified).

This proposal would estahlish an Elected Officials' Compensation Commission within the Civil Service Commission which will deal with the salaries of I Maga '/ahen yan Segundo Maga '/ahen Guahan. senators. Mayors and Vice Mayors. As we know, the Judicial Branch has removed itself and has vested that authority in the Judicial Council of Guam.

Furthermore, the proposed Commission will meet every five (5) years to reassess and submit its recommendation on the salaries and benefits paid to all elected officials. Once the report has been accepted and implemented the Commission will adjourn and automatically reconvene within the next five years or sooner.

Honorable Benjan1in J_ F_ Cruz Re: Salary Increase !Or E1nployees January 30, 2014 Page 2

For the record, Vice Mayor Jessie Bautista and I, together with my colleagues have issues with Bill No. 268. It is rather discouraging and disheartening because the Mayors and Vice Mayors of Guam probably does a wbole lot more than the Legislature.

Let me take you back to Thursday, September 18, 2013. Our island was drenched with more than 10.2 inches of rain followed by 8.21 inches on Friday, September 19, 2013.

In Barrigada, rain prompted flash flood warnings, a number of roads became impassable and families living in low-lying areas were forced, by the Mayor and Vice Mayor to evacuate their homes. Winds blew down vegetation, blocking roads and causing power outages.

Portions of the Roadways along Route 8, 10 and I 6 were collecting water making passage at times impassable.

We contacted and informed DPW that they should take a second look at the intersection fronting the John Gerber U.S. Post Office. Instead of draining, water was collecting towards the center of the roadway island thereby causing some vehicles to stall, and block traffic.

A portion of East Route 8A was flooded (area adjacent to Nokaoi and Guam Trades Academy are.) Drainage needs to be cleaned out and rerouted from draining into private property. In Canada, parts of the road became impassable and traffic had to be controlled by the Mayors Staff. The usual hand aid solution will not work. While we were out addressing these problems ... where was the Legislature and their highly paid staff?

I challenge each and every Senator, that during the next storm, join me and my staff and see what its like. During these times, we have no hours and our residents expect that their concerns he immediately addressed.

Let me just state that pay for perforn1ance is a key factor in Barrigada. This is evidenced by the number of consecutive terms served by them. Our recommend pay increase is based on performance ... this is evidenced by our community electing us to this position.

Lets work together and provide our government employees a salary increase that is rightfully due them. Let's not make exceptions.

RE: Bill No. 268: An Act to approve the department of administration's implementation plans of the 'Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014', to require a performance-based standard for directors and deputy directors of line agencies and I Maga'lahen and I Segundu Maga'/ahen.

Hafa Adai Senator Cruz:

As General Manager of the Port Authority, I am providing testimony on Bill No. 268, which partially approves the Department of Administration's Implementation Plans for the Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014. It has been over twenty years since the original implementation of the Hay Plan that was intended to provide a pay scale to compensate Government of Guam employees in relation to the level of work skills, experience and services that they provided to the government and to the community that they serve.

Since the implantation of the Hay Plan the compensation in pay to the employees in a number of line agency positions including unclassified positions have been inconsistent, resulting in inequitable compensation for critical positions. In late 2010, the outgoing Administration implemented the recommended Hay increase at a time when revenues were not adequate to pay for raises associated with the Plan. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the current Administration, Governor Calvo was placed in a position to have to withdraw the raises implemented by his predecessor due to the lack of funds to pay for the earned increases in order to insure the fiscal operations of the government

In the case of the Port Authority of Guam, as an autonomous agency, the Port evaluates each employees work performance every twelve (12) months. This requirement applies to all Port positions. The Port Compensation and Classification Plan became effective in October of 2009 and the salary increment was applied on October 2010. The Port employees are rated according to their job performance factors to include quantity of work, quality of work, and the timeliness of work to include cost and safety factors. Other factors evaluated include employee's initiative, attitude, adaptability, communication ability, work relationship with other employees, judgment, responsibility and punctuality and work attendance. Employees are also evaluated according to their overall supervisory and technical ability. The step for an employee's incremental salary increases is determined by the overall evaluation of an employee that can range from an "Unsatisfactory Performance" under which no increment is given to an "Outstanding Performance" that provides an employee a five (5) sub step increment Additional sub steps are also

provided for employees that obtain certifications, licenses or educational achievements during their evaluation period. This provides considerable incentive for employees at the Port to work harder and develop their professional skills as there is a direct correlation between enhanced work performance skills and higher compensation levels.

Employees in the line agencies have not been provided the same opportunity over the years and unfortunately do not have parity with their fellow government employees in the autonomous agencies. This also applies to unclassified positions including Directors that oversee and have full responsibility for their departments and agencies and have subordinate positions earning far more than the head of the department. This provides a significant disincentive to fill directorship positions with qualified and experienced employees that would earn less money taking on greater stress levels and more work responsibilities. This is seldom the path that water flows.

The legislature has the opportunity to address the disparity between the line departments and autonomous agency employees by passing the revised Hay Plan as submitted by the Governor. respectfully ask the Legislature take this course of action.

Si Yu 1os Ma'ase',

Re: Testimony on Bill No. 268-32(COR)

Dear Vice Speaker Cruz:

Haja Adai' Thank you for providing the Judiciary of Guam with the opportunity to provide testimony on Bill No. 268-32(COR). AN ACT TO APPROVE THE DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION'S IMPLEMENTATION PLANS OF THE 'GOVERNMENT OF GUAM COMPETITIVE WAGE ACT OF 2014', TO REQUIRE A PERFORMANCE-BASED STANDARD FOR DIRECTORS AND DEPUTY DIRECTORS OF LINE AGENCIES AND I MAGA 'LAHEN AND I SEGUNDU MAGA 'LAHEN

My comments will be focused on the portions of the legislation which would affect the employees of the Judiciary of Guam.

The Judiciary of Guam is in support of Section 3 of this legislation, which would approve the General Pay Plan (GPP) contained in Exhibit l and the Attorney Pay Plan (A TTY) contained in Exhibit 4. The last part of Exhibit 4 should be corrected to read: "POSITIONS COVERED BY ATTORNEY PAY PLAN (A TTY)," To fully effectuate adopting these pay plans and to remove any conflict with existing law, it is necessary for I Liheslaturan Guahan to repeal and reenact certain provisions found in Title 4. Chapter 6 of the Guam Code Annotated ("Compensation of Public Employees") which effectuate that Uniform Position Classification and Salary Administration Act of l 99 l. These are as follows:

I. 4 GCA § 6201, Compensation Schedule (Government of Guam Unified Pay Schedule) must be repealed given the provision contained in Section 3 of Bill 268-32(COR).

Page 82: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

Vice Speaker Benjamin J.F. Cruz Testimony on Bill No. 268-32 (COR) January 31, 2013 Page 2 of 4

2. 4 GCA § 6202, Salary Increments should be amended to recognize the additional Pay Grades W and X and to reflect the language submitted by the Department of Administration contained in Item (I) of Exhibit 7. Miscellaneous Compensation­related Recommendations and Facts as follows:

"§ 6202. Salary Increments. Every classified employee in Pay Grades A through ¥ X shall be entitled to i! one step salary increment for satisfactory performance. Employees at Steps I through 6 shall be entitled to an increment after twelve (12) months of satisfactory performance. Employees at Steps 7 through 9 shall be entitled to an increment after eighteen (18) months of satisfactory performance. Employees at Step I 0 shall be entitled to an increment eqtlivaleffi to 3 .5% of an employee's based salary after twenty-four (24) months of satisfactory performance; the Direecor of Administration shall prepare an inerement sehedule eonsisting of at least Steps 11 to 20 to implement the 3.5% inerement poliey."

3. 4 GCA § 6203, Merit Bonus must be amended either to include the additional Pay Grades W and X for the payment of Merit Bonuses or to reflect the recommendation to suspend the program as stated in Item 4 of Exhibit 7 of the Department of Administration Implementation Plan. However. the recommendation does not contemplate a process or a timeline in which suspension could be lifted.

4. 4 GCA § 6208, Government Attorneys Salaries must be repealed given the provision contained in Section 3 of Bill 268-32(COR).

The Department of Administration Implementation Plan also recommended an increase in the salary of Superior Court - Judge from $121,664 to $128,685. Likewise, the Attorney General's salary was also recommended to be increased from $109,498 to $128,685, the same amount. However, the proposed Exhibit 6 appended to Bill 268-32(COR) only includes the salary increase for the Attorney General and not Superior Court - Judge. I am requesting that you restore the increase for Superior Court - Judge to $128,685 by adding a new item ( d) to Section 5 to read as follows:

"( d) The salary of a Judge of the Superior Court of Guam shall be raised from One Hundred Twenty-one Thousand Six-hundred Sixty-four dollars ($12L664) to One Hundred Twenty-eight Thousand Six-hundred Eighty-five Dollars ($128,685)."

Alternatively, you can add Superior Court Judge to the list in Exhibit 6 with the previous information inserted.

We share the view of the Executive Branch that implementation of the Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014 be applied to both classified and unclassified employees. Based on this policy, the Judiciary expects to receive its 6.7% share ($470,592.31) of the appropriation contained in Public Law 32-068:XJ:2(d).

Page 83: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

Vice Speaker Benjamin J.F. Crnz Testimony on Bill No. 268-32 (COR) January 31, 2013 Page 3 of 4

To ensure that these amounts will be expended consistent with Bill 268-32 (COR), we recommend Sections 3 and 5 be amended as follows:

"Section 3. Approval of the General Pay Plan (GPP), Nurse Pay Plan (NPP), Educator Pay Plan (EDlJ) and Attorney Pay Plan (ATTY). Appropriations contained in Chapter XI. Section 2( d) of the General Appropriations Act of 2014 shall be used for classified and unclassified employees pursuant to Section §+;£( e) of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68, I Liheslatura hereby approves the General Pay Plan (GPP) contained in Exhibit 1 appended hereto, the Nurse Pay Plan (NPP) contained in Exhibit 2 appended hereto, the Educator Pay Plan (EDU) contained in Exhibit 3 appended hereto, and the Attorney Pay Plan (A TTY) contained in Exhibit 4 appended hereto.··

"Section 5. Approval of the Salary Recommendations for Rate of Pay Positions. Allm:opriations contained in Chapter XI, Section 2(d) of the General Appropriations Act of 2014 shall be used for classified and unclassified employees pursuant to Section §+l( e) of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68, I Liheslatura hereby approves the Salary Recommendations for Rate of Pay Positions contained in Exhibit 6 appended hereto, except that:

(a) ..... "

Since the Judicial Council maintains autonomy over the administration of classification, pay, and benefits for judicial branch employees. as set forth in Guam law, we request that the appropriation made to implement these salary increases be further clarified with the following:

·'Section _ . Appropriation to the Judiciary of Guam. The sum of Four Hundred Seventy Thousand Five Hundred Ninety Two Dollars and Thirty One Cents ($4 70,592.31) appropriated from the General Fund to the Unified Judiciary in Public Law 32-68, Chapter XI, Miscellaneous Appropriations, Section 2, Subsection ( d)(l) to pay for the implementation of the Government-wide Position Classification, Compensation and Salary Benefits Study is deappropriated and said sum of $470,592.31 is reappropriated herein from the General Fund to the Judiciary of Guam for the purpose of paying the salary adjustments to non-law enforcement classified and unclassified employees of the Judiciary affected in this Responsible Competitive Wage Implementation Act as determined by the Judicial Council of Guam."

However. this amount will not be sufficient for the Judiciary to fully implement these salary increases prescribed. The $470,592.31 appropriation provided to the Judiciary in the General Appropriations Act of2014 only funds approximately 53% of the required amount necessary for full implementation for the remainder ofFY2014 for eligible locally funded positions.

The Judiciary calculates that for the remainder of FY 2014, the fiscal impact to Judiciary operations would total $1,033,515 including $89L151 for locally funded eligible positions. $119,758 for eligible federally funded positions and $22,606 for eligible positions from other fund sources.

Page 84: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

Vice Speaker Benjamin J.F. Crnz Testimony on Bill No. 268-32 (COR) January 31, 2013 Page 4 of 4

The parameters used by the Judiciary to calculate the fiscal impact of implementing salary increases mandated in the Public Law 32-068 are:

(I) Law enforcement personnel are not eligible for any compensation adjustments; (2) The slotting of all eligible classified and unclassified employees is consistent with

slotting policies and procedures used by the Judiciary in 2011; (3) All eligible employees will receive no less than a 3.8% increase from current base salary: ( 4) All eligible employees are slotted based on Grades, Steps and Salaries contained in the

January 15, 2014 Department of Administration memorandum HRD NO.: OG-14-0160, Exhibits L 4. 5 and 6 to the Governor of Guam;

(5) No eligible employees are awarded compression pay; (6) Full implementation from the effective date; (7) Effective date of salary increases is Febrnary 15, 2014.

On an annual basis, the fiscal impact to Judiciary operations would be $1.665,107; $1,435,743 for locally funded eligible positions, $192, 944 for federally funded eligible positions. and $36,420 for eligible positions funded by other fund sources.

We also remain very concerned about the future sustainability of full implementation of the salary increases mandated for Jaw enforcement officers in Public Law 29-105, and for other employees in Public Law 32-068. The Judiciary has not yet received the funding required to implement the salary increase for law enforcement officers for FY 2014 in the amount of $900,000.

Full implementation for all mandated salary increases will require an estimated additional cash outlay of $2,821,987 to existing funding levels or an 11.4% increase not including any increases to the Unfunded Actuarial Accrued Liability Rate and other benefits such as life and health insurance. It is critical that the Legislature consider this during the upcoming FY 2015 budget deliberations to ensure the required funding is provided to the Judiciary in order to comply with implementing these salary increase mandates.

Should you require further information, please contact me at your convenience.

Re: Bill 268-32; in support for the GOVERNMENT OF GUAM COMPETITIVE WAGE ACT OF 2014

Jessika Dayrit-Social Work Student Alliance

I am a student at the University of Guam majoring in Social Work. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to all the senators and leaders in our community for giving me this opportunity to express my personal opinion on Bill No. 268-32. I support Bill no. 268-32.

Before I decided to major in Social Work, I had been through many oppositions against my families, because they believed that Social Work is an underpaid profession and a stressful career. Despite the arguments, I still pushed myself to get into the program. I am now a senior; and in May, I will be getting my degree. However, one of the biggest questions that my families opened was, "What am I going to do right after graduation?"

Throughout my learning process, as a social work student, I have learned and seen that Social workers are indeed the heroes for people who are vulnerable in our community. They educate, advocate, and empower the community that they serve. They also promote equal rights, dignity, opportunity, and respect to each and every one in our society. Despite their big hearts and warmth hugs, what they get out from it financially is too little. $24, 656 for a Social Worker I is not enough to live independently. If this will be the case; therefore, I will probably be still living under my parent's roof because my income is not enough to pay for my rent, utilities, and food.

My families worked with me recently saying to move to California, because social workers get paid more in the mainland than on Guam. As a matter of fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook Handbook 2012-13, the median annual salary of Social Workers is approximately $42, 480 (this may vary depending on the location, years of experience, and field of practice).

I invested too much in order to get my degree to become a social worker in our community. However, my biggest concern is this: "what will you do to invest in me for our community'>" This is not about the salary issue alone, but this also indicates how our society view social workers-professional workers that face the most stressful job; and yet, receive very little in return. In the recent State of the Union address of President Obama, one of the issues that he focused on was the income inequality, in which he proposed to open up an economic opportunity and to increase the minimum wage to cut the poverty gap in our nation. 1 hope this will also impact Guam and will enlighten our leaders to push the Competitive Wage Act of 2014 to become a law.

If Bill 268-32 passes, perhaps going to the U.S. mainland will not be an option for me to practice as a social worker because I can be financially secured on Guam. Therefore, 1 urge all the senators and committees to support Bill 268-32.

Honorable Benjamin JF Cruz Vice Speaker 32nd Guam Legislature 155 Hesler Place, Hagatna, Guam 96910

Dear Vice Speaker Cruz:

January 31, 2014

RE: Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014

commend the Governor and the Guam Legislature for addressing the various internal and external inequities in the existing compensation plan. I encourage this legislative body to consider implementing the Executive Pay Plan proposed by the Governor for the following reasons:

1) There is a need to attract quality candidates who are willing to serve as Agency Heads. Compensation for key leadership positions in the Executive Branch at the various departments and agencies should be commensurate with the experience, technical expertise, responsibility and accountability for that position's value of work. Today, there is little incentive or desire for a qualified career employee to accept an appointment to serve in the capacity of a department head.

2) The need for alignment of positions. Failure to adjust the Executive Pay structure along with the pay for classified employees will cause greater internal inequities between the civil servants in the departments and their respective agency heads.

3) Salary adjustments are overdue It has been over two decades since the base rate of pay was last adjusted for these key leadership positions in the Executive Branch.

In closing, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to present written testimony.

Dear Senator,

H:rfa Ada// As a classified Goverrment of Guam employee for over 19 years, I am expressing my concerns with the impfementation of the 'Government of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014.'' My position title is a Communicable Disease Control (CDC) Coordinator Ill (Si.peivisor) vAth the cJassifica1ion grade of N.

The Department of Administration (DOA) has stated there are 5 recommendations in the 2014 proposaJ that \\/ere not part of the original "Gove11YT1ent of Guam Competitive \f!Jage Act of 2011 . • DOA needs to be completely transparent and provide the full list of changes and additions they made from the 2010 Hay Stucfy. It is not clear how DOA v.;11 impjement the proposed salar,o increases and ho\v employees v..i ll be slotted into their roo:pective pay plans.

FLJ1harmore, issws regardir{I the re-evaluation or reconsideration of the pay scales for the 2011 Wage Act v10re never addressed or resotved. My concern. along with numerous colleagues ttvou;;ih various ageociss, is these unresolved issues \viii be carried into the 2014 wage Act We have vtaited over 4 years for DOA to implement an appeals process. Follo'h•ing are some of the main concerns from the 2010 Hay Study:

• \M:thin our department, inconsistent and confusing guidelines given to complete the Hay Study Questiomaire for rumerous positions, such as the CDC series (Investigators, Coordinator I -Ill, and Admiristrator) v1hich negatively impacted our proposed salaries.

o For e"Xarnple, in the old pay scale, a CDC Coordinator Ill (Supeivisor) is the same grade (N) as Program Coordinator (PC) IV. But in tho 2010 pay plan, tho PC rv was promoted to grade O \11hilB the CDC Coordinator Ill (Sl.J)ervisor) stayed the same. The problem is not all PC IV supervise while all CDC Coordinators Ill supervise (staff size range: 1- 11).

< The CDC series camot be found in other government agencies bul orfy ••thin the DPHSS so these pos~ions should be considered 'specialized." In addition to performing the functions of a Program Coordinator. the CDC series perform V•'Ork in the surveillance, investigation. prevention. control and treatment of commLnicable diseases.

• In 2006. the GMHA contracted the Hay Group to conduct a 'Govermlent of Guam Healthcare

GovGuam Competitive Wage Act of 2014 t message

- - - - -a nee man.ato -::[email protected]:. Th.I, Jan 30, 2014 at 3.53 Pr.• To: [email protected], senator@senatorbjc1uz com, semt°'@linamtrobnrnes.com, [email protected].

Honorable Sena!OfS:

As a concerned citizen and a public seMnt, I am deeply concern with the implementation of the "Go-ernment of Guam Competitive Wage Act of 2014."

Personally, I do not understand and still not clear on how the Department of Administration came up with, with what they are proposing as the pay scale for all GovGuam employees. For example. my position as a Classified Employee, Communicable Disease Control Coordinator I (CDC series) with current Classification/Step L-7), if e-er they will implement the proposed pay scale, whoever will come on board with the same poslion Will just h a11e the same pay as myself. I ha"" WOll<ed hard to gel to my current step and I do not think a is fai' for me or to anyone who have worked '"' many years to get demoted by steps whie the new employees will just get the same compensation.

When the Hay pay plan was first implemented. I remember there were issues and concerns that many of us raised, but I do not think they were ever resol-ed up until now. The concerns and questions we had before are still the same concerns we have now. I totally support the plan of increasing the GovGuam employees pay; however. I feel that DOA should r~vish and review again our positions and duties and make a oomparison with the other positions in the Government and see how e-eryone should be compensated based on their work profile and responsibilities.

Moreover, DOA should provide a detailed guidelines and clear information on the proposed pay scale and their reasons for doing so. The CDC series posttions were never reviewed and considered for salary adjustments for many years while the other positions, such as the police officers, nurses, etc. got theirs. As a public servant, I just want to see a fair treatment and justification on the proposed pay scale.

I am rot clear hO\\' the Department Qf Aclmlnistratioo plans to implemelt tho proposed seal&. PAy position title is of a Classified Employee, Communioable Disease Control lrrvesUgator (CDC seOOs) •11ilh currert Classificationrstep H-4).

Dear Senators:

I tried to reach you tek:!phonlcaUy tf"l!s morni03 regarding concerns with tha ift'tlleirentanon of the Ha'f StOOy. The first ooncern is for the employees Vl'hom are already atove St ep 18 in the Hay scale. Shot.Id not these most senior employees o f tne Government of Guam be consktered up until they t &ti'& ftom the Go\iernrrent of Guam? Second, is not aoout the Hay Stud")' itself, but reiated to the i"l)larrentauon of the Hay Stu:ty. The ooncem in the implamentatlon is that employees may 10"...e their current step a/"d slmpty be placed at the step closes.I. but not balow their currel"( pay. If this is the case. dearly it is an 10d!catlon I.hat the Govemmel"( of Guam does rot v.ailoo the years of service of thesa government employees. Because a majority of these affected employe&S are over the age of 40. one m'.ght ccnsidet the Hay Study d lscriminative based VPQn their age. tll1ost importantly though is it sends a messsg.e that tMir years of seroAcc In the Go\iernment of Guam are not \•aU'id. I would request at ycv discussion today regardirig the Hay Study that this itnplemenlatQn aspect of tre Hay Study be clarified

Thank you tor yCM time and attention.

I MINA'TRENTAI DOS NA LIHESLATURAN GUAHAN 2014 (SECOND) Regular Session

Introduced by: Michael F.Q. San Nicolas G2 · AN ACT TO APPROVE THE DEPARTMENT OF ADMINISTRATION'S IMPLEMENT ATON PLANS OF THE 'GOVERNMENT OF GUAM COMPETITIVE WAGE ACT OF 2014', TO REQUIRE A PERFORMANCE-BASED STANDARD FOR DIRECTORS AND DEPUTY DIRECTORS OF LINE AGENCIES AND I MAGA'L4HEN AND I SEGUNDU MAGA'LAHEN.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF GUAM:

2 Section 1. Short Title. This Act shall be referred to as the

3 "Responsible Con1petitive Wage Implementation Act".

4 Section 2. Legislative Findings and Intent. I Lilzeslaturan Guiihan

5 finds that Section 1 of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68 required that by

6 January 15, 2014, I Maga'liihi subn1it a final, implementable plan to adjust

7 compensation, classification and benefits to I Liheslatura. I Liheslatura

8 authorized I Maga'liihi to cover either classified personnel only or classified

9 and unclassified personnel. On January 15, 2014, I Maga'liihen submitted

10 the General Pay Plan (GPP), Nurse Pay Plan (NPP), Educator Pay Plan

11 (EDU), Attorney Pay Plan (A TTY), Executive Pay Plan (EXEC) and Salary

12 Recommendations for Rate of Pay Positions. The Executive Pay Plan

Page 151: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

includes many unclassified appointed positions and the Recommendations

2 for Rate of Pay Positions include recommendations to give substantial

3 raises to elected officials.

4 I Lihes/at11ra finds that classified and unclassified en1ployees of the

5 government of Guam have patiently awaited their salary adjustments since

6 Governor Eddie Calvo issued Executive Order 2011-02 on January 14, 2011,

7 stopping implementation of the compensation sh1dy and the

8 corresponding salary adjustments.

9 It is therefore the intent of I Liheslaturan Guiihan that the pay

10 adjustments to the hard-working employees of the government of Guam

11 shall be i1nplemented pursuant to Public Law 32-68.

12 Section 3. Approval of the General Pay Plan (GPP), Nurse Pay Plan

13 (NPP), Educator Pay Plan (EDU) and Attorney Pay Plan (ATTY).

14 Pursuant to §1(e) of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68, I Lihes/atura hereby

15 approves the General Pay Plan (GPP) contained in Exhibit 1 appended

16 hereto, the Nurse Pay Plan (NPP) contained in Exhibit 2 appended hereto,

17 the Educator Pay Plan (EDU) contained in Exhibit 3 appended hereto, and

18 the Attorney Pay Plan (ATTY) contained in Exhibit 4 appended hereto.

19 Section 4. Executive Performance Pay Plan. The unclassified

20 positions included in Exhibit SA appended hereto shall be paid a base

21 salary which is equal to the current salary for their position and the

22 remainder of the applicable executive pay, contained in Exhibit 5 appended

2

Page 152: PUBLIC BILL DATE CMTE HEARING COMMITTEE NO. … No. 268-32 (C… · Janet Aguon, Matatnga Masakada Vicente Gumataotao, Mayor of Piti Michael Duenas, Executive Director, Guam Housing

hereto, shall only be paid pursuant to the provisions of the Performance

2 Pay Plan (PPP) criteria provided in §6 of this Act.

3 Section 5. Approval of Salary Recommendations for Rate of Pay

4 Positions. Pursuant to §1 (e) of Chapter XI of Public Law 32-68, I Liheslatura

5 hereby approves the Salary Recommendations for Rate of Pay Positions

6 contained in Exhibit 6 appended hereto, except that:

7 (a) Senators of I Liheslatura shall not receive a salary increase

8 pursuant to this Act, but shall continue to receive their compensation

9 as prescribed by §1106 of Chapter 1, Title 2 of the Guam Code

10 Annotated;

11 (b) The salary for a Mayor shall be raised from forty-six

12 thousand sixty-two dollars ($46,062) per annum to fifty-six thousand

13 sixty-two dollars ($56,062) per annum and the salary for a Vice

14 Mayor shall be raised from forty-two thousand two hundred sixty-

15 four dollars ($42,264) per annum to fifty-two thousand two hundred

16 sixty-four dollars ($52,264) per annum; and

17 (c) I Maga'lalzen, I Segundu lVIaga'lahen, the Attorney General,

2 created a Performance Pay Plan Reserve Fund. The fund shall not be

3 commingled with other funds nor shall be subject to the transfer authority

4 of I Maga'liihen. Payments shall be remitted to the fund for each pay period

5 for the total value of Performance Pay which may be made to salaried

6 officials pursuant to §6 of this Act. If pay in excess of base salaries is not

7 remitted on a biennial or annual basis, as applicable, pursuant to §6(a) of
