Pay raise given to Lowndes Co. employees, with exceptions
LOWNDES COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – Lowndes County supervisors gave county employees a pay raise this year, with a few exceptions.
At the November 15 board meeting, county leaders decided to go back to the drawing board to make sure everyone will get an increase.
When the 75 cent pay hike was approved earlier this year it did not include retirees who still work for the county or regular part-time workers.
There are about 16 retirees that would be receiving what could be a one-time benefit to equalize the pay across the county.
Supervisors said it will not be a big impact to the budget.
A final count on pay and the number of part-time employees eligible for the pay raise will be presented at the next board meeting.
