Waupaca County moves seasonal employees to Labor Grade 1 to aid recruiting
Summary
The county board unanimously repealed a prior resolution and placed seasonal employees on the countywide wage schedule at Labor Grade 1 to improve recruitment and reflect local market conditions; the action was adopted 23-0.
The Waupaca County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 46 (2021-2022) on Feb. 15, 2022, revising pay for seasonal county employees.
Citing recruitment challenges and rising local wages for seasonal positions, the resolution repeals Resolution No. 10 (2019-2020) and places seasonal employees at Labor Grade 1 on the countywide wage schedule. The change is intended to give departments more flexibility to set hiring rates based on experience and to allow future annual adjustments that reflect market conditions.
Supr. P. Craig moved adoption and Supr. G. Murphy seconded; the motion carried 23-0. The transcript records the rationale given in the resolution text but does not include additional debate or a roll-call vote by name.
With the measure passed, county departments may apply the Labor Grade 1 pay scale for seasonal hires in accordance with county personnel procedures; the resolution text on file repeals the earlier policy from 2019-2020.
