Madison approves 2025 employee compensation resolution with 2.5% COLA and performance steps
Summary
The commission approved the 2025 employee compensation resolution that sets a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment to take effect in the first pay period of 2025 and makes performance-based step increases available; two position grade changes were included.
Madison’s City Commission approved the city’s 2025 employee compensation resolution, which includes a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment effective in the first pay period of 2025 and establishes eligibility for a 1.5% performance-based step increase.
Jamieson explained the resolution streamlines the document by moving detailed benefit listings to a separate benefits document, so benefits remain unchanged while the compensation resolution text is shorter and easier to use. The resolution also changed two position grades: the engineering/community development director position increased from grade 22 to grade 24 based on a revised job description, and the communications position moved from a coordinator classification to grade 17 to recognize expanded responsibilities.
A commissioner moved to approve the compensation resolution and the commission approved it by voice vote. Jamieson said the changes preserve existing benefits and adjust pay and grade structures to reflect responsibilities.
Next steps: staff will implement the compensation changes at the start of 2025 and update payroll and HR records.
