_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO approve the attached Pay Equity Compliance Report.
OVERVIEW
In 1984 the Minnesota Legislature passed a "Comparable Worth" or Pay Equity law. The
purpose of this law was to reduce the perceived wage disparity between government jobs
held largely by males and those predominantly held by females. Each local governme nt
jurisdiction must submit a Pay Equity Implementation Report every three years, as
provided by Minnesota Statutes, section 471.9981, to determine whether it is in
compliance with the law.
The City of Hopkins is required to submit a report to the department of Management and
Budget (MMB) by January 31, 2025. This report must be based upon the employees hired
and salaries paid as of December 31, 2024.
Adoption of this motion will allow the City to submit its Pay Equity Implementation Report
as required by state law. An initial review of this data, which is attached, shows the City
of Hopkins is in compliance with state law.
