PB Alters Rules On Merit Raises
The Pay Board issued a modified set of merit raise regulations, adjusting the rules for performance based pay increases. Plans in place before the November 14 wage freeze may run their course, but renewals must cap total pay raises at 7.7 percent annually including fringes. New criteria require written plans, defined pay ranges, clear raise standards, and administrative control, with pre-November 14 plans terminated if key changes occur. Top executives could receive 100 percent raises in some cases, while workers face a 5.5 percent ceiling.
