The chart illustrates the current salaries and wages, as well as what it would look like with different pay raises. The current salary is listed first, followed by a 2 percent increase, then an increase of 4 and 5 percent. The effect of pay raises for the department, would mean the overall city budget would be affected. Historically the department has received minimal salary increases. This past year salaries and wages saw only a 0.3% pay increase. Employee benefits did raise a modest 3.8%. The department seems overdue for a pay raise that would at least equal the cost of living increases. A 4% increase would appear to be the appropriate raise for the department for FY 2014.
