The Marshall County Council will meet on Monday for an annual recognition of probationary pay waivers.
The policy is part of Marshall County’s salary ordinance which specifies that new employees receive a 10-percent reduced pay from the normal scale for a period. Once the probationary period has passed, wages are returned to their normal scale.
For employees transferring departments, that probationary period may not technically apply, meaning the probationary wages would first need to be recommended for a waiver.
The Marshall County Council implemented the policy several years ago as a way to better control budgetary costs in the face of reduced revenue.
Both the Marshall County Highway Department and the Sheriff’s Department will be addressing the Council about probationary pay waiver periods.
The meeting begins at 9:00 a.m. EDT at the Marshall County Building.
