The Town of Southborough Personnel Board on May 2 approved the salary set for Peg Leonard as director of the Council on Aging, making the approved pay rate retroactive to her appointment.
Vanessa, a personnel staff member, told the board the request arises from a clause in the SAP that requires board ratification when an employee is transferred or promoted to another department. The memo in the meeting packet listed the rate for the current fiscal year, which the staff said will remain in effect through June 30; subsequent grid adjustments would take effect July 1.
A board member moved to accept the recommendation and make it retroactive to Leonard’s appointment. The motion received a second and passed by voice vote, 3–0.
No additional adjustments were approved at the meeting; staff said future annual grid changes would apply beginning July 1.
