HOLLIDAYSBURG Efforts to write Blair County’s first compensation policy have stretched over six meetings as of Thursday, with no action yet scheduled on salary study recommendations for non-union employees.
The salary board, comprised of Commissioners Bruce Erb, Laura Burke, Amy Webster and Controller A.C. Stickel, has been convening special meetings almost weekly since Feb. 18. That’s when the board backed away from addressing non-union pay changes
recommended in the salary study, pending development of a
compensation policy.
The policy, when finished, is expected to address matters such as how the county determines starting pay, pay ranges, raises and changes in pay due to job changes.
