Committee expands chief deputy auditor posting to $60K $70K and adds one-week vacation to attract candidates
Summary
The committee approved changing the auditor chief deputy posting from $60,000 to a $60,000 $70,000 range and adding one week of paid vacation to the posting; members debated a broader range (60 75) but settled on 60 70 for the posting.
The LaSalle County Salary and Labor Committee voted to broaden the posted salary range for the chief deputy auditor and to include one week of paid vacation in the job posting to improve recruitment prospects. The official presenting the request said the department had struggled to attract applicants at the previously posted $60,000 salary and proposed a higher range and a week of paid time off to make the position more competitive.
"I believe we set the salary at 60,000, and I am not getting any takers. I'm asking if I can increase that salary with a range of 65 to 70 and also offer a 1 week vacation," the presenter said. Committee members discussed statutory minimums for vacation accrual and whether to post a broader range; one member recommended a 60 to 75 range to cast a wider net. The chair asked if the posting could use 60 to 70 based on the presenter's suggestion, and the committee approved the posting with a $60,000 $70,000 range and one-week vacation by voice vote.
