HOLLIDAYSBURG — The Blair County Salary Board should come up with a compensation policy that recognizes the worth of the employees and lifts them out of poverty, President Judge Elizabeth Doyle told the board Thursday.
Despite initial disappointment with the salary board’s decision to delay scheduled action on employee raises linked to the recently-completed salary study, Doyle said she was happy to learn of the board’s pursuit of a compensation policy because it means the salary study won’t be a final step in addressing employee pay inequities and turnover.
“My request of the human beings that make up this salary board is to please create a compensation policy that values the employees as the county’s greatest asset,” Doyle said.
