Public Comment: Dalton Collins with the Highway Department asked if the Teamsters will be
allowed to sit in on the closed session.
Martin Skaj with the Highway Department would like to ask what the total of all wage studies
has cost and how it will impact him. Stated that the Highway Department seems to be
overlooked sometimes. Lori Skaj asked where data came from for the wage study and the cost.
Approval of Minutes of February 10, 2022: Motion Milanowski, Strand to approve minutes
of the February 10, 2022 Personnel Committee meeting. Motion Carried (5-0 )
Market Analysis Presentation; Patrick Glynn: Glynn explained that the Market Analysis was
last conducted about 6 years ago. The market analysis is also being conducted as a response to
the competitive job market. He reviewed a presentation which was provided to the committee
members in hard copy. Moving an employee from 37.5 to 40 hour work week would result in
6.5% more in wages. One option that could be considered is developing a schedule that has 18
steps rather than 11 and having 2.5% steps up to the control point and then 1.25% steps through
the 18th step. The analysis shows that the county’s wage structure control point is currently
approximately 4.8% below the average market.
Question was asked if moving to a 2080 work hour would impact the wage schedule. Answer in
that the number of work hours would not impact the wage schedule. Question was asked how
many hours per week other counties work. Answer is that it is all over the board. Question was
asked how employees would receive a 40-hour work week. Question was asked if each position
was evaluated for correct Grade placement. Answer was no, the analysis strictly evaluated the
wages for the existing schedule. However, the consultant explained that the analysis indicates
that the positions appear to be placed appropriately based on the position titles when analyzed
during the market analysis (no significant deviations).
Abeles-Allison explained 4.8%

BAYFIELD COUNTY HUMAN SERVICES, REPORT
PREPARED BY E. SKULAN
MARCH, 2022
ON – CALL REPORT
The state of Wisconsin mandates counties provide response 24/7/365 to allegations of child
abuse and neglect. Counties then require workers in Human Services, Health and Human
Services, or Social Services Departments to provide on-call. In Bayfield County, the Family
Services Section staff in the Department of Human Services provides this response. County staff
with on-call responsibilities usually rotate the duties in some fashion.
In Bayfield County:
• Family Services Social Workers and Case Managers are assigned on-call duties to
respond to child abuse and neglect reports.
• Each worker must participate in a five-day Child Intake Worker training provided by the
state before they are qualified to respond to after-hours calls.
• Once trained workers can take physical custody of a child, if needed.
In most cases, after hours calls can be resolved with a phone call or a series of phone calls. In a
more limited number of instanced each year, staff must mobilize and respond in the
community either to assist law enforcement or to take physical custody of a child or children
until other arrangements can be made for them.
Currently:
• Hours of on-call are 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 24- hours per
day Saturdays, Sundays and holiday.
• Workers are required to respond within 15 minutes of initial contact.
• Workers are on-call for one week at a time, beginning Tuesday at 4:00 p.m., ending
the following Tuesday at 8:00 a.m.
• Workers are reimbursed $1.50 per hour to be on-call
• Workers are provided a minimum of .50-hour compensatory time for phone calls.
• There is no minimum for a mobile response.
• Actual monetary compensation for on-call is approximately $10,000 annually.
Workers bank compensatory time for time worked and are afforded time off to
compensate for on-call.
Comparisons to nearby counties:
Ashland: 1 hour minimum or actual time at time and one-half, whichever is greater, no
difference between phone call or mobile response, $24 per day
Douglas 16.5 hours of on-call each weekday at $1.50 per hour; 1.5 hour minimum when
called, documented in 15-minute increments; two hour minimum at time and one-
half (3 hours) or time worked at time and one-half, whichever is more for mobile
response
Iron Time spent on phone based on actual minutes worked; 2-hour minimum straight
time for mobile response
Rusk Minimum .25 hour per phone call or whatever time spent on call; 2 hours minimum
at time and one-half for mobile response; 1 hour of pay at the worker’s hourly wage
for on-call duties Monday through Friday; 2 hours of pay at the worker’s hourly
wage for on-call duties both Saturday and Sunday
More Facts about on-call:
• On-call duties are often required of social workers or other staff who provide social
services.
• On-call duties generally occur in the middle of the night.
• On-call duties disrupt sleep, families, and the worker’s life.
Recommendations:
1. Increase on-call reimbursement to $2.00 per hour or an additional $.50 per hour. This
is equal to $3,328 per year.
2. Like other nearby counties, offer minimums for on-call duties (a. below AND b. or C.).
a. Provide a one hour minimum for phone calls AND
b. Provide a two-hour minimum for mobile response OR
c. Provide a three-hour minimum for mobile response
Suggested changes to Bayfield County Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual:
3.20 On-Call, page [37]
Current language:
Employees who are assigned Human Services duties shall be paid one dollar and fifty cents
($1.50) per hour. Employees who are on-call and who are called out shall receive compensation
in the form of compensatory time off in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act but shall
be compensated for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Recommended language:
1. Employees who are assigned Human Services duties shall be paid two dollars ($2.00) per
hour. Employees who are on-call and who are called out shall receive two hours
compensatory time or compensatory time for time worked in accordance with the Fair
Labor Standards Act, whichever is greater. On-call matters that can be resolved via
phone shall be compensated with a minimum of one hour of compensatory time.
Multiple calls within a sixty-minute period are afforded a single minimum of one hour.
OR
2. Employees who are assigned Human Services duties shall be paid two dollars ($2.00) per
hour. Employees who are on-call and who are called out shall receive three hours
compensatory time or compensatory time for time worked in accordance with the Fair
Labor Standards Act, whichever is greater. On-call matters that can be resolved via
phone shall be compensated with a minimum of one hour of compensatory time.
Multiple calls within a sixty-minute period are afforded a single minimum of one hour.
Committee Recommendation:
Mark and Kris Review:
• Concur with item 1, increasing to $2.
• Concur with item 2: one hour minimum
• Continue with existing 2 hour minimum

employee-owned equipment needed to do assigned work. If the malfunction

the supervisor should maintain regular communication with the employee.
b. Performance Expectations Plan. The supervisor is responsible for developing a plan
that defines performance expectations and deliverables, and reviewing the plan with

up strategies with necessary phone numbers and a messaging plan in case of an

work schedules and work location accordingly.
e. Training. The County Administrator’s office will provide Telecommuting policy
training to Department Heads as needed. Departments are encouraged to provide
training for supervisors and employees in order to ensure a successful
telecommuting program. For example, topics could include: telecommuting policy

goal and standard setting, technology use and guidelines, safety, time tracking, etc.
