Thank you so much for your participation in the recent wage & benefit survey. We had 92 responses!

Wage & Salary                    (Effective for Anniversary Dates after 8/1/19)

  • Change in Annual Increase format (Effective for Anniversary Dates after 8/1/19)
    • We reviewed the Federal COLA history formula specified by the Social Security Act and determined that the average COLA over the last 10 years is 1.5%.
    • Employees now eligible for a 1.5% COLA increase and a 2.5% performance- based increase = 4%
      • Those at the top of their discipline/position wage scale would still receive a 1.5% increase to hourly rate, and be eligible for 2.5% bonus based on performance
      • This format will be reviewed annually and is subject to change

Amount of PTO                  (Effective 9/1/19)
