Proposed 2019-2022 Meet and Confer Agreement Between the San Marcos Police Officers' Association and the City of San Marcos, Texas ARTICLE 5 WAGES AND COMPENSATION Section 1. Hourly Base Pay A. The base hourly rate for Cadet, Police Officer, Corporal, Sergeant, and Commanders are reflected in the pay schedule in appendix A. This pay plan is adopted effective October 1, 2019. To implement the plan: Officers will be placed based on their current rate of pay in the rank/step, with the rate that is the closest higher rate in the new plan. Officers who are topped out in rank in the current pay plan at implementation will have a new step date of October effective October 1, 2019. 3. Officers who would be eligible to be at a higher step based on total years of service, will be eligible for an additional step in each year of this three-year agreement. B. Progression within the pay plan: 1. Cadets will begin at the cadet rate. 2. When sworn in, officers will be placed on 19.00. 3. Officers hired through the lateral entry program may be placed up to step 19.03. 4. Upon promotion, an officer will move to the same step in the new rank (slide over to the same step in the next rank). For example, an officer at 19.10 promotes to Corporal 20.10 on August 15th and has a November step date. Following promotion, the Corporal receives a step increase to 20.11 in November. 5. Officers will increase to the next step in their rank/step each year on their anniversary date until reaching the maximum step. The exception to this for current officers is Section A.3. above.
