Re: Salary Ordinance Change
Dear Peggy:
I am requesting a Salary Ordinance change to one position. Joan Garrett is presentl
employed as a Probation Assistant. Ms. Garrett now qualifies to take the Probation Officer'
examination. I intend to change her position to that of Probation Officer. This would result in
corresponding salary increase to $26,291.80, which is the minimum salary level for a probatio:
officer with 0-1 years of experience according to the Indiana Judicial Center guidelines.
Ms. Garrett's current salary is $22,770.00. The $3,521.80 difference willbe transferred fi:or
the non-reverting fund into the salary line item for Ms. Garrett. Thus, there is no request for Cit
General Funds or Probation User Fee Funds. I am enclosing for you a copy of the state guideline
and my calculation of the salary.
Please let me know what other information you need in order to put this before the Cit
Council.
Sincerely,
Vicki L. Carmichael, Judge

Re: Probation Officer Minimum Salary Schedule
Date: October 31, 2001
As a result of the recent Probation Officers Salary Survey it has come to our attention
that some departments are inadvertently not following the Minimum Salary Schedule. The
survey showed that some departments are paying at the 1997 minimum salary level.
The Minimum Salary Schedule guidelines provide that in the years following the
implementation of the schedule each county is to increase the schedule by either (I) the
pementage increase, (2) the specific dollar amount, (3) combination of 1 and 2, or (4) average
increase based on salary classifications approved for the majority of county employees. Each
county is responsible for ensuring that the schedule is updated every year based on the county
increase. For example, in 1997 the minimum salary for a probation officer with 0-1 year of
experience was $21,138. If the county increase was 3% for 1998, then the minimum salary
would be $21,772.14 in 1998. If the county increase for 1999 was 3%, then the minimum salary
would be $22,425.30 for 1999. If the increase was 3% for 2000, the minimum salary for 2000
would be $23,098.06. Finally, if the increase for 2001 was 3%, the minimum salary would be
$23,791.00. In this example, the minimum salary for a probation officer with 0-1 year of
experience increased by a total of $2,653.00 from 1997 to 2001.
We would like to encourage each of you to review your probation department's salaries
to ensure that the salaries are compliant with the current salary schedule and guidelines. For
your convenience, we have enclosed a copy of the minimum salary schedule. If you have any
questions regarding how the salary schedule works, please feel free to contact Jenny Bauer or
Jane Seigel of the Indiana Judicial Center at (317) 232-1313.
