Commissioners and staff reconcile part-time wage calculations in draft budget
Summary
Discussion focused on how part-time hours and hourly pay were being annualized in the draft budget; staff and commissioners found rounding and formula inconsistencies and asked for corrected annual totals.
Staff and commissioners worked through multiple examples to confirm how part-time pay was annualized. Staff member (Speaker 6) and Committee member (Speaker 7) discussed calculations such as "$18 an hour at 29 hours a week for 52 weeks," noted rounding differences and asked staff to correct annual totals for part-time treasurer and JP positions.
Several commissioners said they preferred increasing existing clerks' pay modestly over hiring new full-time staffers in some offices; they asked finance staff to provide corrected annualized amounts so the board could decide between temporary help or higher base pay for current staff.
