Salary Board revises annual increase guidance to 1%–3% at board discretion
Summary
The Salary Board revised the County Pay & Promotion Policy to state annual increases are discretionary and may range from 1% to 3%; the change removes prior language about 90‑day eligibility and clarifies increases are not guaranteed.
The Salary Board convened immediately after the commissioners' meeting and voted to revise section III.D (Annual Increases) of the County Pay & Promotion Policy. Commissioner Robert J. Snyder moved the revision that sets annual increases as discretionary, ranging from 1% to 3%, and lists factors to consider (job evaluation, supervisor recommendation, budget considerations, and the federal cost‑of‑living index); Commissioner Kline seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The revised policy also states no annual increase shall be given to a current employee who has received a rate increase in the last 30 days, and affirms that annual increases are not guaranteed. The Salary Board adjourned at 10:25 a.m.; minutes were signed by Chief Clerk Lynette Greathouse.
