Charles Mix County approves 10% wage increase and employee bonuses for 2025
Summary
The county commission approved a 10% wage increase for 2025 and bonuses — $1,000 for full‑time and $500 for part‑time employees (150+ hours in 2024) — in a unanimous vote.
The Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners voted Nov. 21 to approve a 10% wage increase for county employees for 2025 and one‑time bonuses tied to 2024 hours.
Auditor Jason Gant presented a wage proposal. Commissioner Nick Stotz moved to adopt the proposal and Vice Chairman Colin Soukup seconded; the motion carried with all commissioners recorded as in favor.
Under the approved plan, active full‑time employees will receive a $1,000 bonus and active part‑time employees meeting a threshold of 150 hours in 2024 will receive a $500 bonus. The minutes record the percentage increase and the bonus amounts but do not include estimated total fiscal impact or a line‑item budget amendment.
The minutes do not specify timing for pay adjustments or whether the county will adjust related benefits or retirement calculations; implementation steps and cost coding were not provided at the meeting.
