OCEAN CITY – Officials say seasonal incentives, reclassifications and salary adjustments will support the town’s recruitment and retention efforts.
On Monday, the Mayor and Council had before them a request to adopt new general employee pay tables with a 3% increase, apply a 3% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) and 3.5% merit-based increase, reclassify two positions and adopt seasonal incentives. Officials said the recommendations were based on market conditions and affordability, among other factors.
“I’m very comfortable from a budget standpoint in moving forward with these recommendations,” said City Manager Terry McGean. “We wanted to get these to you sooner rather than later because a lot of these things we want to start advertising our seasonal positions based on the rates we are going to present to you today.”
In July, McGean, Budget Director Jennie Knapp and Human Resources Director Katie Callan started working with every department head and division leader to develop pay recommendations.
From those conversations, officials have recommended the adoption of the general employee pay tables with a 3% increase, a 3% COLA, and the application of a 3.5% merit-based increased based on the mid-point calculator.More
