This section is included in your selections.

(1) Employees shall be paid within the limits of the wage range to which their positions are assigned by the budget ordinance.

(2) Usually, new employees will start their employment at the minimum wage rate for their classification. However, a new employee may be employed at a higher rate than the minimum when the employee’s experience, training or proven capability warrants, or when prevailing market conditions require a starting rate greater than the minimum.

(3) Pay increases of one step may be given annually at the employee’s anniversary date, contingent on satisfactory performance as reported on their annual evaluation report. If an employee’s performance is consistently unsatisfactory, the mayor may defer a scheduled pay increase for a stipulated period of time or until the employee’s job performance is satisfactory. The budget ordinance shall assign pay steps for purposes of administrating this section.

(4) The mayor may propose and the town council may grant selective, merit, or across-the-board pay adjustments from time to time, raising the salaries of positions by a specified amount. Such adjustments, if any, will not change an employee’s pay anniversary date. (Ord. 518 § 2, 2009)
