Memorandum

To:	All Judges
From:	Judge Edward H. Johnson
Subject:	Salary Adjustment - Dana Hamilton
Date:	September 12, 1997

Pursuant to the policy adopted by the Court at the November 1996 Banc meeting and included in the IOM , whenever a salary adjustment is requested for Clerk's Office personnel, which is not a regular salary scale adjustment, cost of living increase, merit increase or the like, the Clerk/Court Administrator shall present the judge-in-charge of the Clerk's Office with a report stating the requested salary adjustments and the reasons therefore. The report shall contain a work history, salary history of the employee and the Fiscal Office shall present the judge-in- charge of the Clerk's Office with a complete fiscal history, leave history and a fiscal note stating whether the Court has funds available for the proposed salary increase. Additionally, the judge-in-charge of the Clerk's Office shall indicate whether the judge-in-charge recommends or does not recommend the proposed salary adjustment. Attached please find a memorandum to me dated August 5, 1997 regarding a requested salary adjustment for Dana Hamilton, applications clerk. Also, please find attached a copy of memorandum I received from Kaye Carter dated August 11, 1997, stating that funds are available to give Dana Hamilton a 4 percent merit increase effective October 1, 1997 and an additional 5 percent increase.

After reviewing the memoranda and discussing the proposed salary adjustment and the job performance of Dana Hamilton with Bill Martin and Kaye Carter, I recommend the proposed salary adjustment which would raise Dana's salary from the current level of $20,239.91 to $22,061.50 effective October 1, 1997.

Please mark and initial the enclosed approval or rejection of the proposed salary adjustment and return it to me as quickly as possible. Kaye Carter will need to prepare payroll very shortly if the salary adjustment is approved and takes effect on October 1.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
