Raises are Back!

Looking back over previous posts, I see we left the "raises for M&C employees" story in a perilous position.  Things are looking up.

I am on the Budget Committee this year, as well as Admin, and between the two, we managed to establish an M&C salary raise for 2018.  This was a very good budget year, compared with the last ten years or so, with a lot of financial issues falling the right way for us (including a robust sales tax report).  This led some other Board members to be a bit more accepting of the idea of giving our management their second raise in nine years.

Everyone (except elected officials) gets a raise; those who have been in their current positions longer get larger raises.  This coming year, the PRGS Committee will spend whatever amount of time it takes to develop a perpetual salary scale for M&C employees, so we won't have to do this again, and so our management staff get the raises they deserve on an onging basis.  We'll either find a consulting firm who can help us develop the scale, or develop it ourselves (the more likely, and less expensive, option), with the help of our outstanding Personnel Director, Penney Gentile.
