[OPLINLIST] pay scales

[Kelsey Wicker]

We don't do performance-based raises, but most years we do a cost-of-living increase in line with the SSA COLA.

Sincerely,

Here is our current pay scale. We currently are not doing any kind of performance based raises.The Board usually grants a 5% across the board increase every year.

Our library is looking to make some updates to our pay scale.  Some questions came up at the last board meeting, and we were wondering what other libraries are doing.  Our current pay scale is not initiative based, meaning you get a pay increase at a scheduled time without any kind of evaluation of your work.  I’m wondering do other libraries follow a set scale and are your increases dependent on performance as well as employment time. We are wanting to make this transition as smoothly as possible.  Thank you for any help you can give me!
