Summary: Each year the Compensation Committee is tasked to provide the Commissioners Court with proposed changes to compensation for employees on the Classified Pay Scale. This is required under section 114.043 of the Travis County Code. Please see the attached memo from Susan Welbes, the Committee's Chair, for a more detailed explanation of the Committees recommendations. cc: Planning and Budget Department County Auditor County Auditor-Payroll County Clerk Page 4 of 33 [PAGE 5] TO: Members of the Commissioners Court FROM: Susan Welbes, on behalf of the Compensation Committee DATE: February 10, 2026 SUBJECT: FY 2027 Compensation Committee Priorities Pursuant to Travis County Code 114.043, the Compensation Committee presents the following recommendations, in priority order, to the Commissioners Court regarding compensation for classified employees in FY 2027. 1. Increases to fix Compression Issues; 2. Across-the-board Increase; 3. MSS – Market Salary Study (for all Classified); 4. Longevity Pay Changes; and 5. Creation of a Structured Pay Scale similar to POPS Pay Scale. Priority #1 – Increases to fix Compression Issues. Employees have asked the Court to study Salary Compression Issues at the 2025 Employee Hearing. Salary Compression occurs when long-tenured employees make a similar salary when compared to newly hired employees. It can also occur when subordinate employees are earning slightly less than their supervisor or a senior position. HRMD has considered salary increases to minimize salary compression over the past year. The Committee supports review of this issue and should funding permit, establishment of a method to review salary compression on a regular basis and make adjustments if necessary. Priority #2 – Across-the-board pay increase. In FY 2026, the Commissioners Court approved a 3% across-the-board increase, despite reductions in revenue. Implementation of an across-the-board increase in FY 2027 would have a broad reach across the County workforce. The Committee is not recommending a specific percentage or dollar amount but urges the Court to consider implementing an across-the-board or cost of living increase again in FY 2027. The Committee anticipates supporting such an increase every fiscal year. Priority #3 – MSS – Market Salary Study. For the County to remain competitive in the labor market, it is important that jobs be placed within the proper pay grades. HRMD is working on a benchmark study and will collaborate with PBO on a costing analysis for the project. The Committee recognizes that implementation of the results of the study is a key component of the County’s efforts to maintain a competitive system in relation to the market. The impact of funding this year’s benchmark study could be far-reaching throughout the County workforce, including for those in job titles that are not examined, because typically un-examined titles within a given job family will move together. Priority #4 – Longevity Pay Changes. The Committee is supportive of a review of Longevity Pay practices by neighboring entities to ensure Travis County remains competitive in the application of this benefit. Page 5 of 33 [PAGE 6] Priority #5 – Creation of a Structured Pay Scale similar to the POPS Pay Scale. The Peace Officer Pay Scale (POPS) is defined by Pay Steps rather than a Pay Range. It is recognized that a shift to this type of pay scale for Classified employees requires additional analysis prior to a formal recommendation. The Committee considered fifteen compensation initiatives in making its recommendation. Ultimately, the Committee narrowed down the initiatives via ranked-choice vote to submit the above top five priorities for FY 2027. A list of all the initiatives considered by the Compensation Committee follows.

A total of 972 employees completed the form, and this number represents just over 20% of Classified employees. Lessons learned from this effort include providing additional information about the specific priorities, providing additional time to complete the form (employees were given 3 days) and identifying job families and/or divisions to recognize trends. The Feedback Form was intended for Classified employees only; however, steps were not in place to prevent any employee from participating. The Committee is proud to have received the number of responses from employees for a first-time effort. A list of the results of the Feedback Forms follows.

While the ranked order of the priorities differs, this commonality supports the results of the two groups. It is important to also note that Across-the-Board Increases and Increases to fix Compression Issues are the top two Priorities among Committee Members and 20% of employees. The Compensation Committee recognizes that adopting the budget is a complicated process, particularly in a challenging fiscal environment, and that there are many competing priorities for the Court to consider. The Committee appreciates the opportunity to share its recommendations, as well as the time and consideration that the Commissioners Court is giving to ensure that the County can recruit and retain a highly qualified workforce to continue the important work of serving Travis County.

The key objective is to ensure the County’s benefits package continues to support the health, financial security, and overall well-being of our employees. We remain focused on providing and sustaining cost-effective coverage, monitoring utilization patterns, and aligning benefits with market benchmarks. We have continued efforts to address employee feedback and ensure that our programs remain competitive in attracting and retaining talent. Claims Status Update The previous reimbursement requests, including Medical paid claims and Prescription paid claims for Fiscal Year 2026 through Quarter 1, are reflected in the following paid claims totals: Medical Paid Claims: $13,874,302 Prescription Paid Claims: $12,606,395 Total Paid: $26,480,698 The individual specific stop loss deductible is $500,000 with the insurance carrier, UnitedHealthcare BP. As of the end of Quarter 1, no individuals have exceeded the specific deductible. 1 Page 13 of 33 [PAGE 14] Travis County Health Care Plan Overview FY26 Health Plan Expenses Quarter 1 Summary For the first quarter of FY26, heath fund revenues are within the adopted budget amounts. Revenues for the health fund include contributions from employees, retirees, and the County as well as various plan reimbursements and rebates. Claims and administrative expenses exceed the budget by 3%. For Q1, the health plan budget is currently over by $2,996,713. This trend is common in the first three months of the fiscal year. Pharmacy claims are the main driver to the higher claim totals for the quarter. Throughout the year, claims are expected to fluctuate and revenues will increase as the year progresses. Stop Loss Claims For FY26, the plan’s stop loss insurance coverage pays 100% above the $500,000 individual specific deductible for any single claimant that exceeds this deductible during the fiscal year. The stop loss reimbursements are deposited to the Health Fund and reduce the total claim expense. Currently, no claimants have reached the specific deductible; however, one claimant has exceeded 50% of the threshold ($250,000). For the same period in FY25, three claimants were above 50% of the specific deductible. Pharmacy Claims The health plan gets money back from pharmacy rebates. We expect the next rebate payment in April and it will help lower the overall cost of pharmacy claims. Medicare Advantage Plan Savings The Medicare Advantage Plan (MAPD) started on March 1, 2018. It helps the Health Fund save money. Humana runs this fully insured plan for Travis County Medicare eligible retirees and eligible spouses. The medical and prescription claim savings realized by the Travis County Health Fund for the retirees and their dependents on the Humana plan resulted in claims savings each year as indicated. Dates Claim Savings 03/01/2018 – 12/31/2018 $3,176,020 01/01/2019 – 12/31/2019 $5,203.637 01/01/2020 – 12/31/2020 $6,226,716 01/01/2021 – 12/31/2021 $7,180,370 01/01/2022 – 12/31/2022 $8,866,253 01/01/2023 – 12/31/2023 $10,187,253 01/01/2024 – 12/31/2024 $10,426,967 Strategies for Reducing Healthcare Cost Drivers; CARE Program Alignment to UnitedHealthcare (UHC) Cost Drivers The County has strategies in place to help mitigate healthcare cost growth, including the CARE Wellness Program. CARE is intentionally designed to align with UnitedHealthcare’s (UHC) primary medical cost drivers by emphasizing prevention and early intervention— areas where education, access, and behavior change can reduce downstream utilization. CARE does not provide clinical care. Instead, it supports employee awareness and self- management behaviors that influence risk progression and help avoid higher-intensity, 2 Page 14 of 33 [PAGE 15] higher-cost services. Programming is structured to reflect claims-informed priorities while remaining scalable and relevant across a diverse workforce. CARE focuses on modifiable risk areas associated with the County’s highest-cost conditions, including cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, mental health conditions, circulatory disease, and metabolic risk. Cancer-related costs are addressed through screening and early detection efforts (e.g., biometric screenings and facilitated access to mammography). Musculoskeletal costs are targeted through movement-based programming, ergonomics education, and injury prevention initiatives. Mental health programming supports stress management, resilience, and recovery strategies. Circulatory and metabolic risks are addressed through nutrition education, physical activity promotion, and weight-related behavior-change supports. This framework concentrates resources on the drivers, most likely to be influenced through prevention and self-management, with the objective of reducing avoidable utilization and moderating long-term cost trends. In FY25, the program delivered 43 engagement activities across these categories, reaching 1,366 participants countywide and maintaining an average attendance rate of 57% reflecting strong engagement for a voluntary program. While there is no single industry standard for participation in voluntary workplace wellbeing programming, published employer wellness benchmarks commonly cite show rates in the 30–40% range, with participation above 50% generally considered high for optional programs not tied to incentives or requirements. Preventive Engagement and Targeted Impact Preventive health remains a critical component in addressing cost containment. In FY25, CARE supported 147 preventive screenings, including biometric screenings, mammograms, and injury assessments. These efforts increase employee awareness of personal health risks, encourage timely engagement with primary care, and support early identification of chronic conditions, all key contributors to reducing downstream high-cost claims. Flagship Engagement: RENEW Wellbeing Fair The RENEW Wellbeing Fair serves as a flagship example of intentional program alignment. In FY25, the Fair engaged more than 300 employees and retirees, delivered 112 screening services, and achieved a 96% satisfaction rate with a Net Promoter Score of 84. This score signifies high participation in preventive and educational activities demonstrates employee trust in the program and reinforces CARE’s role as an effective access point for early intervention and health literacy. Data-Informed and Proactive Planning Cycle CARE operates within a planning cycle that balances proactive implementation with data- informed refinement. Programming launches at the start of the fiscal year, and as updated claims data become available, it is used to adjust focus areas and prioritize targeted interventions. This approach allows the program to remain responsive to emerging trends while avoiding delays in employee support. 3 Page 15 of 33 [PAGE 16] Travis County Health Plan Overview December 2025 Month 3 of 12 or 25% TOTALS YTD BUDGET YTD ACTUAL DIFFERENCE PREMIUMS ANN.
