Summary

Sanbornton officials reviewed the town’s pay matrix (from a 2017 wage study), discussed possible longevity increases and agreed department heads should submit updated job descriptions by April 8 for reclassification work to proceed in the next budget cycle.

Town Administrator Trish Stafford reviewed where current employees appear on the town’s pay matrix and said the classification scheme that should accompany the 2017 wage study was never developed. She recommended updating job descriptions to support reclassification, but said any implementation would need to wait until the following budget year.

Selectman Glenn Frederick suggested a longevity increase could be implemented sooner than a full classification overhaul; Selectman Brandon Deacon said a predictable longevity step would aid budgeting and could be in place by Aug. 1. The board asked department heads to provide updated job descriptions by April 8 so the Selectboard can discuss a proposed approach.
