Commissioners approve base-pay raises for county employees
Summary
The Haralson County Board of Commissioners approved base-pay increases: $800 annually for full-time employees and $400 annually for permanent part-time employees, replacing a one-time bonus proposal.
The Haralson County Board of Commissioners approved a change to employee compensation that increases base pay rather than issuing a one-time bonus.
County staff indicated that employees preferred a base-pay increase of $800 a year for full-time employees and $400 a year for permanent part-time employees instead of a one-time bonus. Commissioners discussed how the increase would be funded from account 1300 and noted that the county would also cover associated Social Security and federal payroll taxes from that account.
A motion to accept the employee raises was made and seconded during the meeting; commissioners voted in favor and the chair declared the motion passed with a 5-0 tally announced on the record.
No further details were provided about the number of employees covered or the total annual cost to the county; staff did not provide a budget breakdown at the meeting.
