County raises tied to merit system reform across departments
Del Signore explained that merit based raises applied to county offices rather than individuals in a mid year adjustment. Non union staff saw increases after months of study, while some workers did not receive raises this year. The plan aligns with pay comparisons to similar counties and ongoing negotiations with Local 964 as the county shifts from Civil Service to merit based pay.
