FY24 General Increase and Salary Adjustments
The Board of County Commissioners approved the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget which includes the following items, effective October 8, which will appear on the October 27, 2023 paycheck:
- Eligible permanent employees will receive a salary increase of 4.5% based on their current salary.
- After the 4.5% increase has been applied, employees will be brought to the minimum rate of their pay grade (see the table below) or receive an additional increase to base pay of $0.29 per hour, whichever is greater.
- All employees’ base hourly wages will be at least $18 per hour. Effective October 8, 2023, the minimum of the following pay grades shall be as follows:
Classified Pay Grade Minimums
