Halifax board adopts ordinance authorizing employee bonuses
Summary
The Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 2026‑24 authorizing monetary bonuses for county employees to align non‑constitutional staff with state salary adjustments; the measure passed unanimously by roll call.
The Halifax County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on June 30 to adopt Ordinance 2026‑24, authorizing monetary bonuses for county employees.
County staff explained that the state approves salary increases for constitutional officers; the ordinance provides monetary bonuses so other county employees receive comparable increases when state increments apply to some positions. A finance committee recommendation (Vice Chair Smart moved; Supervisor Wit seconded in committee) advanced the measure to the full board; a roll‑call vote recorded 8–0 in favor.
The ordinance authorizes county payment of the monetary bonuses as described in the board packet; county administrative staff will implement the payments in coordination with payroll and present any necessary budget amendments.
