Commission clarifies and approves corrections-officer pay changes effective July 1
Summary
The board rescinded a prior motion and approved setting the new starting wage for correction officers at $25.50 effective July 1; for existing correction officers the board approved a $1.63 adjustment plus the countywide 2% increase and up to 2% merit.
At its June 23 meeting the Seward County commissioners clarified and approved wage changes for correction officers.
After discussion about arithmetic and the interaction between a flat adjustment and a countywide 2% increase, the board rescinded the prior unclear motion and set a starting wage for new correction-officer hires at $25.50 effective July 1. For current correction officers the board approved a wage adjustment of $1.63 plus the countywide 2% increase effective July 1 and up to 2% merit pay as previously discussed.
The board recorded roll-call votes on the separate motions. Commissioners said the clarification was intended to ensure no employee loses pay under the restructured schedule and to make the hiring starting wage competitive.
