The attached <br />report shows data in place as of December 31,2002, and is due January 31,2003. <br /> <br />The Department of Employee Relations (DOER) will make an official determination as <br />to whether or not the City of Centerville is in compliance with the Local Government Pay <br />Equity Act. We have no way of predicting the official determination; however, initial <br />reports prepared with the assistance of DOER software indicate that Centerville is not in <br />compliance. <br /> <br />The health insurance benefit disparity appears to be at the root of compliance issue. <br />Under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement, a male-dominated job class <br />inadvertently receives a greater health insurance benefit than all female classes. After <br />performing various tests on the DOER software, we believe that equalizing the health <br />insurance benefit over all classes will bring our jurisdiction into compliance. <br />
