Board approves wage increases and benefit changes for about 200 unrepresented county employees
Summary
The Board approved a three-year compensation package for roughly 200 unrepresented county employees, including wage adjustments of 4% (2025), 4% (2026) and 3% (2027) and restructuring of some premium pay; staff estimated a $9.1 million three-year cost and provided actuarial impact information.
The Marin County Board of Supervisors on July 15 approved a compensation package for approximately 200 unrepresented county employees intended to align their pay with recently negotiated contracts for represented groups.
Human Resources Director Christina Kramer told the board the proposal included general wage adjustments of 4% effective in the first pay period after board approval (mid-July 2025), 4% in July 2026, and 3% in July 2027. The package also included equity adjustments to bring positions closer to market medians, and a restructuring of some premium pay for unrepresented sheriff peace officers from a flat-rate supplement to a percentage-based supplement.
Kramer said the three-year cost of the proposal is approximately $9.1 million and that an actuarial analysis of retirement costs was included in the board materials. The package excludes Board of Supervisors’ salaries (which are handled separately) but applies benefit changes to the supervisors for fringe benefits.
No public speakers addressed the item. Supervisor Lucan moved the item and Supervisor Colbert seconded; the board approved the wage and benefit changes by voice vote. County staff will implement the adjustments and follow standard payroll and actuarial procedures.
