Teton County approves pay-grade adjustments and creates two corporal positions in sheriff’s office
Summary
The county authorized payroll forms and added two corporal positions in the sheriff's office, with staff to retroactively adjust pay once paperwork and job descriptions are formalized.
The Teton County Board of County Commissioners approved payroll adjustments and the creation of two corporal positions for the sheriff’s office during Monday’s meeting.
County staff told commissioners that the payroll paperwork initially contained pay-grade errors. Kelsey Smaley, administrative manager at the sheriff’s office, told the board the payroll forms for herself and colleague Caden Moulton were submitted with the wrong pay grade; staff clarified the intended pay rates and requested the forms be corrected and processed. The board approved the corrected payroll forms.
Separately the commissioners approved a new corporal job description and the reclassification of two deputy positions to corporal (pay grade 8). Commissioners said the change was intended to improve retention and provide clearer career paths for deputies. The board approved the corporal job description and payroll forms; commissioners noted any midyear budget impacts would be addressed in next year’s budget process and that retroactive pay adjustments could be handled if needed.
Kelsey Smaley and Caden Moulton were named in the meeting’s discussion as employees whose forms had been corrected and processed by the county. The board asked the sheriff’s office to provide finalized job descriptions and confirmed that any adjustments that affect the FY26 budget will be addressed in next year’s budget process.
Ending: The board approved the corporal positions and corrected payroll forms and asked staff to submit finalized job descriptions for the personnel records and for budget planning next fiscal year.
