Council keeps matron—s pay unchanged after adding commissary duties to job description
Summary
After reviewing a revised job description that formally added commissary duties, the council concluded the matron position was already compensated above midpoint and took no additional pay action.
Clinton County Council members declined to increase the matron—s salary after staff and the sheriff—s office confirmed commissary administration duties had long been part of the position.
Council discussion noted that an earlier Indiana Court of Appeals decision had set matron pay equal to deputy pay in prior budget years and that last year—s salary survey found the county—s matron paid about $12,000 above the midpoint compared with peer counties. The council said the recent amendment to the written job description formally recognized duties already performed and did not change the job—s classification score, according to staff.
One council member said the county already pays the matron —well above the midpoint— and supported keeping the salary as currently budgeted. The council recorded no change to compensation.
Ending: The council left the matron pay at current levels while noting the job description now explicitly includes commissary duties and that the county will monitor classification and pay in future surveys.
