Hard to say, 6% yearly raises must be nice. Private sector gets 3%. Depends on qualification / Job Role to see if salaries are justified. I’d hope they have more than a High School Education.

A quick glance indicates that overall, pay raises are excessive as a whole. And, in regard to providing union rates to non-represented employees, extremely so. Yet another reason to merge all HR control under the county. And, sorry but the Mercer study seems rich compared to my experience, and of the numerous large and small companies that I’ve intereacted with over the years too(does it exclude promotions in those figures as it would skew all higher?). Also, please share attrition rates for BCES and other departments if available, including individual benefit costs, retirement contributions and payouts that a typical employee would receive. Please keep digging as it’s nice to see all of the county’s little secrets get out. Clearly, they’ve been left on their own for far too long.

I would love to see the Prosecutor’s Office pay raises. That would be interesting, considering the prosecutor’s wife makes over $48K as an aministrative assistant in her second year with the Board of Elections!

I’m sending my girl up to BCDES tomorrow to apply for a job as a secretary. Is anyone else disturbed by how much these ladies make? T. McCarty (dated Furmon’s son) got over 31% raise in one year. Must be nice to get paid that kind of money for answering phones. 2004 was a good year to be a secretary according to the raise percentages for the ladies that year.
