Agenda Item

9:30 am Conduct public hearing relating to a request from Human Resources to increase the salaries for all Williamson County employees, excluding Elected Officials, on filled slots and budgets on positions for vacant slots as of Jan. 3, 2022 by 3% and discuss (1) the reason for the payment in excess of the budgeted amount is being offered to the potential employee, including the public purpose that will be served by making the excess payment; and (2) the estimated amount of the excess payment, the sources of the payment, and the terms for distribution of the payment that effect and maintain the public purpose to be served by making the excess payment.

Background

  1. The reason for the payment in excess of the budgeted amount is to provide for a mid year cost of living adjustment for Williamson County employees as we are experiencing the highest inflation we have seen in 40 years. This will allow us to retain experienced staff and increase our ability to recruit qualified staff.
  2. The estimated excess amount is $4,780,000 which will be paid through the normal bi-weekly payroll. The public purpose served by providing the increased salary is the ability to hire and retain qualified applicants and provide an orderly flow of government operations for routine and emergency services.
