All of our current class specifications (position descriptions) are available for review.
Organizational Structure
The organizational chart shows LOTT's current staffing. Staff members are organized under four division Directors who report to the Executive Director. The Executive Director reports to the Board of Directors, made up of one elected official from each of the four partner jurisdictions (Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Thurston County).
Pay Plan
LOTT's plan for non-represented employees was developed in 2007 as part of a comprehensive study of pay and benefits for all positions at LOTT. To ensure that LOTT’s pay and benefits plan remains competitive with comparable organizations, LOTT conducts regular market surveys for represented and non-represented classifications. The non-represented pay plan provides several options for classifying positions, resulting in close alignment to the labor market, and creates additional placement options for staff pursuing career development plans. Highlights of LOTT's pay plan include:
- There are nine pay grades with seven steps, each resulting in a five percent increase over the previous step
- Annual step increases in Pay Grades 10-50, up to Step 7
- Eligibility for Division Directors to have annual market and performance-based salary reviews/adjustments
- Flexibility to place new hires above Step 1 with Executive Director approval
- Annual COLA of 100% of the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton CPI-W (June-June of the previous year)
- Identical benefits package for all regular employees
- Clear procedure and guidelines for reclassifications
