Commission updates longevity schedule, approves merit-based longevity additions
Summary
After debate about anniversary dates and merit recommendations, commissioners adopted a longevity policy adding 50¢ per five years of service and outlined steps to catch up eligible employees; an 80¢ wage increase proposal for non-elected staff was discussed as a separate motion.
Daniels County commissioners revised the county’s longevity schedule and approved a merit-based longevity addition during the July 20 meeting.
Committee member (S2) proposed a longevity schedule that provides $0.50 for every five years of employment, applied to permanent full-time employees and separate from COLA, with merit-based supervisor recommendations. Commissioners discussed anniversary timing and how to catch employees up for prior service; they approved the motion to adopt the revised longevity policy. A separate proposal to add an 80¢ per-hour increase for non-elected employees was raised and scheduled for separate motion and follow-up discussion.
The board directed payroll and HR staff to implement the longevity schedule consistent with anniversary dates or a brief catch-up process, and to return with necessary payroll steps and cost estimates.
