Accomack Board Approves 2% Pay Bonus for County Staff; Extends Bonus to Administrator and Attorney
Summary
The board approved a 2% bonus for regularly scheduled county and state-supported local employees effective June 1, 2026, and later authorized a separate 2% bonus for the county administrator and county attorney to be paid June 15 if approved as described.
The Accomack County Board of Supervisors voted to implement a 2% bonus for regularly scheduled county and state-supported local positions included in the FY26 budget. County Administrator Mike Mason explained the resolution sets eligibility and payment rules: bonuses are effective June 1, 2026; full-time bonuses are based on salary in effect on June 1; part-time bonuses are prorated with a $150 minimum; and payments are scheduled for June 15, 2026 if the board approves the resolution.
After approving the general 2% bonus, a separate motion extended the same 2% bonus to the county administrator and the county attorney. That second motion was discussed briefly and then carried by board vote. Vice Chair Johnson stated she had a professional interest in the matter but said she could participate under Va. Code §2.2-3112(B)(1) and vote fairly. The transcript records affirmative votes on both motions but does not list a complete roll-call breakdown for each.
County staff noted the bonus rules align with guidance from the Virginia Compensation Board and clarified that consideration of any salary changes for the county administrator or county attorney must occur separately if they extend beyond the scope of this resolution.
