County workers gain raises funded from unfilled positions
Aiken County will boost salaries through a plan by Council member Kathy Rawls using funds from unfilled positions rather than a tax hike. The 10 percent raise plus reclassifications in the Sheriff's Office and EMS aim to retain staff, with a $1,000 minimum and about $1.5 million total from EMS collections and unfilled roles to cover the raises. Rawls notes funds could average $700,000 to $1 million depending on vacancies, and that merit-based raises were set aside for a one time fix.
