The City Council changed the rules that control pay and benefits for city workers. It added the Chicago Police Department Lateral and Rehire Agreement, set new health-insurance rules, limited how often salaries can be raised, and created a new Salary Schedule IT for certain supervisory and management jobs.

• Former Chicago police officers can be rehired and receive salary schedules from the Lateral and Rehire Agreement.
• Non-seasonal employees who work at least 80 hours a month get continuity of service credit.
• Health and welfare coverage rules were clarified, including enrollment timing and continuation coverage after termination.
• Employees can receive no more than two salary-adjusting actions per calendar year unless special approval is granted.
• A new Salary Schedule IT was added for non-represented lead, supervisory and management staff, with defined salary ranges.

Money

• $104,580 annual entry rate for Schedule IT positions (monthly $8,715).
• $125,088 annual salary level in Schedule IT (monthly $10,424).
• $140,976 annual salary level in Schedule IT (monthly $11,748).
• $158,076 annual salary level in Schedule IT (monthly $13,173).
• $204,660 annual top salary in Schedule IT (monthly $17,055).

Who: Current and future Chicago city employees, especially Chicago Police Department officers being rehired or hired laterally, and other classified staff covered by the new salary schedule.
