The Board of County Commissioners approved the following compensation for 2021.

• The pay plan (ranges) will be adjusted by 1.5% and employees will receive equivalent increases on the first day of the year in 2021.
• Provide a 2.5% merit increase budget allocation in 2021, allowing departments within their allocated merit increase amounts to distribute either equal amounts or variably based on a standard or better performance evaluation AND (any combination of):
  • Internal equity within jobs. The variable method can be applied to just one job or a couple jobs.
  • Range penetration to address internal compression within the range.
  • Other non-performance based rationale – this could be items like responsibility levels, number of staff supervised, and facility management.

* Communication regarding the Sheriff’s step plan is communicated directly from the Sheriff’s Office.
