(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has approved pay raises for county employees.
The Commission voted Monday to approve employee raises as requested for the proposed 2022 budget and to allow the reallocation of funds to fund the raises.
The Commission also adopted the proposed 2022 wage scale.
Both were approved on a 2-1 vote, with Commissioner Bill Pollock casting the lone dissenting vote.
The raises and new wage scale were effective July 11.
Instead of waiting until 2022, the Commission agreed to move up the pay raises, which range up to $1 an hour.
Pay raises were not included in this year's budget.
