Appleton studies city employee wages
About 400 city of Appleton workers could fall under
a new pay scale soon.
With the collective bargaining law in place, the city hired a consultant to study the market, and comparable positions in the private sector, and then come up with recommendations.
City human resources director Sandy Behnke says they want to make sure the city is competitive, and offers equitable wages, to recruit and retain staff.
Behnke says about 14 employees make more than the highest amount on their pay scale, and the recommendation is to freeze their pay, until inflation catches up. Another dozen or so are below the lowest wage, and Behnke says the plan is to bring them up to that level.
She says there are nine steps on the pay scale, and anyone in between steps could get a raise, to bring them up to the next level.
The city's human resources committee will talk about the proposed scales on Monday.
