Commissioners hear 5% wage recommendation, shift-differential proposal
Summary
A compensation board recommended a 5% wage increase (above a 2.69% COLA) and proposed setting some positions to specific wage percentages and a 50¢/hour shift differential; implementation awaits payroll system setup.
The board discussed a compensation board recommendation that includes a 5% wage increase and proposed pay-policy changes affecting hourly and shift pay.
A commissioner explained the recommendation: "The recommendation from the board is a 5% wage increase, which ... was like 2.69 was the COLA. So it would be over that, but it was unanimous from the people that voted on the compensation board." The proposal also included setting certain position pay at 90% and 85% of the wage scale and adding a 50¢ per hour shift differential. The board noted the need to change payroll settings and timesheet practices so supervisors and employees can track shift-differential hours properly.
Implementation was not immediate: the board said the changes would take effect on the first of the month after payroll changes are in place and directed staff to avoid retroactive correction to old timesheets.
