In a story ran yesterday on Z93country and published on Z93country.com an error was made when quoting the salary of the local ABC administrator and the Assistant City Clerk’s hourly pay.
The City adopted a comprehensive pay plan during the meeting.
In a municipal compensation and pay plan, those figures represent the maximum cap (or ceiling) of what those positions are authorized to be paid, rather than an automatic raise given to whoever is currently sitting in that seat.
A comprehensive pay plan typically establishes the salary grade ranges—setting the minimum, midpoint, and maximum (ceiling) rates for each job classification. Adjusting those numbers in a municipal order means the city has raised the upper limit of what the position is legally allowed to earn, giving management the flexibility to hire or increase pay up to that new cap without needing a brand-new council vote every time.
