Under the newly adopted salary ordinance, the salary increase for 2016, which is retroactive, is 1.5 percent. For 2017, it is 1.75 percent. It is 2 percent for 2018 and 2 percent for 2019.
For example, a clerk typist 1 will earn between $31,062 and $38,915 for 2016. By the final year of the salary ordinance, the salary range is $32,882 to $41,196.
The Senior Citizen Program Coordinator will earn between $50,018 and $62,663 for 2016, and between $52,950 and $66,363 in the last year of the salary ordinance.
