Hinsdale board hears first reading of 2025 pay plan with 3.5% across‑the‑board increase
Summary
Board reviewed a first reading of 2025 pay plans that propose a 3.5% general increase, changes to public works step schedules and part‑time starting wages; trustees moved the item to consent for final action.
The Hinsdale Village Board of Trustees on April 22 heard a first reading of the village's 2025 pay plans for non‑union full‑time, part‑time and public services employees, which proposes a 3.5% across‑the‑board wage increase.
Village staff said the plan keeps the minimum and maximum pay ranges the same while reorganizing public works pay steps from 15 to 10 to allow faster progression. The proposal also raises the starting wage for part‑time pay grade 3 to $17 an hour and eliminates top steps for several non‑union pay grades (NM‑5, NM‑7 and NM‑8) to reflect market conditions.
The board received the first reading as informational and indicated the item would be placed on the consent agenda for final action at a subsequent meeting. Village staff said the changes were already reflected in the 2025 village budget and were intended to aid recruiting and retention.
No formal vote on the pay plan occurred at the April 22 meeting; trustees agreed to treat the matter as consent business going forward.
The first reading included staff explanations of the pay‑step restructuring and wage adjustments and a brief question period. Staff and trustees referenced market competitiveness and retention as the principal rationales for the adjustments.
If moved from consent at a later meeting, the board will make a formal approval motion and record a roll call vote.
