Aiken County Council Approves Across the Board Pay Upgrades
The Aiken County Council approved universal pay raises for county workers, a welcome start toward equity though more work remains. A blueprint for a salary ordinance provides a path to clarity after years of a complex pay schedule. The plan grants a 2 percent raise in the 1996 budget plus another 2 percent via the ordinance, the largest county history, though further generosity was limited by council constraints.

For years employees endured pay freezes and budget shortages while the county trained staff who left for higher pay in private industry. Fair pay and an equitable system will help retain workers and benefit taxpayers in the long run.
