From glennwmichael at gmail.com Sun Apr 15 09:28:29 2018 From: glennwmichael at gmail.com (Glenn Michael) Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 11:28:29 -0400 Subject: [Board-2018] PYC Salaries In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Good Morning, All great comments and on point. I do not disagree with the pay rate issue at all, but my only question is this. If Mike does not come back at under $20 per hour, will we be OK without a licensed dock master for a few months?? Plus, who are the volunteers to run that search committee to find a capable person to be the dock master? As far as Freida, we can certainly set a launch license date or her pay is reduced. With respect to launch drivers, we have one returning person and one new hire with a license, (as far as I know) so if Mike C does not return, we will have 2 drivers for the near term. I completely agree that we are behind the power curve on all of this, but the study of salary creep and our decision to take action is fairly recent, and we are doing the best that we can. Next year we will have the availability of an entire new way of doing this. We have job descriptions for the steward and the dock master and detailed guidelines for the staff. Do we need something more to get this ball rolling down the road?? No firm decision has been made on any of this, but we are now at the point of determining what the staff looks like when the club opens.

Sorry I didn't speak up in the meeting, but in my experience (in having 52 employees in my company), almost invariably it is wiser to hire from within for a number of reasons. .

She is a known quantity, but I certainly have no problem with investigating the unknown, shall we say. My only fear is that Freida will give up on us if she is not made the steward in training, but that is the risk that we take. This is not an easy time to be an officer, or on the BOD, and I commend everyone for their time, patience, and thought.
