Granite County commissioners uphold switch to semi-monthly pay despite employee objections
Summary
At a July 28 meeting, the Granite County Board of Commissioners defended its decision to change employee payroll to semi-monthly, saying the move is intended to aid recruitment and shorten the wait for a first paycheck, despite staff emails and public comment favoring monthly pay.
The Granite County Board of County Commissioners on July 28 reaffirmed its decision to move county employees from monthly to semi-monthly payroll, saying the change is intended to help recruitment and reduce the time newly hired staff wait for their first paycheck.
Public commenter Justine Richmond raised concerns about the employee survey, saying, "I didn’t hear an answer about why the employee survey was disregarded and that it was pretty equal across the board." Commissioners responded that the survey had been considered along with other respondents who expressed no preference, and they said no additional payroll processing costs were anticipated. The Commission affirmed it would not revisit the decision at this time.
