City adopts job performance basis for pay raises
City officials will base raises on job performance for 1,100 employees. Each year two evaluations occur, one on the work anniversary and another at year start, with 5 percent raises for superior or standard performance and some employees receiving nothing. The concept, requested by City Council, follows a Greensboro model adopted last year and targets productivity and efficiency.
