| The City of Miami Beach has the following five (5) classified employee groups that are represented by bargaining units:
• Group I - Represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 1554;
• Group II - Represented by the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) William Nichols Lodge No. 8;
• Group III - Represented by the International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) Local 1510;
• Group IV - Represented by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) Local 3178; and
• Group V - Represented by the Government Supervisors Association of Florida (GSAF), OPEIU, Local 100
In addition, the City has one classified employee group, Group VI, comprising all other classifications in the classified service not covered by a bargaining unit. This group is commonly referred to in the City of Miami Beach as “Others”. There is a seventh salary group comprised of at-will employees commonly referred to as Unclassified.
The Administration will be presenting a separate item before the City Commission during the June 7, 2019 City Commission meeting, requesting approval to ratify a three-year labor agreement between the City of Miami Beach and Government Supervisors Association of Florida (GSAF), from the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2021.
There is a need to amend the Classified Salary Ordinance to add two (2) classifications, which have been deleted from the Unclassified Salary Ordinance No. 2017-4093 and added to Group V represented by the Government Supervisors Association of Florida (GSAF), and add four (4) classifications, which have been deleted from group VI comprising of all other classifications in the classified service not covered by a bargaining unit (commonly referred to as “Others”) in Ordinance No. 789, and added to group V represented by the Government Supervisors Association of Florida (GSAF)
The ratified agreement between the City and the GSAF mandates the implementation of a one percent (1%) across the board cost of living adjustment (COLA), effective the first full pay period ending in October of 2018, for all classified employees represented by the GSAF, with a corresponding one percent (1%) increase to the minimum and maximum of each classification pay range; a one percent (1%) across the board COLA, effective the first full pay period ending in October of 2019, for all classified employees represented by the GSAF, with a corresponding one percent (1%) increase to the minimum and maximum of each classification pay range; and a one percent (1%) across the board COLA, effective the first full pay period ending in October of 2020, for all classified employees represented by the GSAF, with a corresponding one percent (1%) increase to the minimum and maximum of each classification pay range, accordingly in the event, the City’s General fund revenues increase by eleven Percent (11%) in June of 2019, there shall be and across the board wage increase of Two percent (2%)
Any of the aforementioned classified employees who separate from employment with the City prior to the date of implementation of the COLAs, will not be eligible to receive the COLA increases.
