The Clinton County salary boards on Jan. 2 approved a set of pay changes and personnel policies that apply to county employees under the supervision of elected offices, including a 50¢ per hour increase for full‑time, non‑elected employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, effective with the first pay period of 2025.
The increase — presented and read in sections for each office — was approved separately for employees under the direct supervision of the Board of Commissioners, the treasurer, the president judge, the prothonotary, the register and recorder, the sheriff, the district attorney and the coroner. Each section included adoption of a listing of positions, the number and grade of each position, and a starting salary schedule to be in effect Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2025; the boards also approved a standing promotion policy that pays a promoted employee either the starting salary of the new position or a 5% increase on the employee’s current salary, with deviations to be brought back to the salary board for consideration.
Beyond the uniform 50¢ raise, the salary board approved several office‑level items presented on attachments: a $1,500 annual increase for county maintenance department salaries (effective Jan. 1, 2025); a $975 annual increase for public defender salaries; a $975 annual increase for a part‑time assistant district attorney; and a $975 annual increase for a named part‑time deputy coroner. The boards also set part‑time hourly rates for certain roles for the 2025 pay year: assessor part‑time assessment work $16.25 per hour; custodial/housekeeping $15.50 per hour; correctional officers and correctional maintenance staff $15.50 per hour; fully trained part‑time 911 dispatchers $16.75 per hour; paid interns $12.75 per hour; court custodians and magisterial district court floaters $15.50 per hour; and part‑time security positions $15.50 per hour. The register and recorder and prothonotary listings were likewise adopted for the 2025 period.
Each office’s bundle of salary items was moved and seconded as a group and carried on roll call votes recorded in the transcript. For example, commissioners recorded unanimous “yes” votes from Commissioner Harding, Commissioner Snyder and Commissioner Russo when the commissioners’ salary items were approved; subsequent sections recorded affirmative roll calls that included Treasurer Kintz and the relevant elected officeholder when those offices’ salary lists were considered.
Officials noted the approved schedules take effect with the first pay period of 2025 or Jan. 1, 2025, as specified in each motion. The boards also reiterated that any deviation from the approved starting salaries or the promotion policy would require reconvening the salary board.
The salary boards adjourned at about 1:50 p.m., and the commissioners’ meeting resumed at 1:51 p.m.
