Town officials are considering revamping how non-union, non-contract employees are paid after a proposed change was shot down at June’s Annual Town Meeting.

Town Administrator Mike McCue told Selectmen on Monday he is reviewing how other towns compensate employees.

Currently, employees receive a three percent raise each year pending a favorable performance review, known as step increases. Those raises stop once an employee reaches the highest compensation rate allowed. Additionally, those employees receive a cost of living raise each year that ranges from one to three percent depending on the town’s financial health.

McCue said the town might consider removing the step increases for each year and instead offer a cost of living increase, not both.

“That being said, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done,” McCue said. “I need to look at compensation schedules for other towns.”

Selectman Naida Parker asked if the change would “fine tune” the current plan or offer something completely different regarding benefits and salary.

McCue said there would be no substantial changes.

“When I reference looking at other town’s personnel bylaws and policy that’s specifically to see how they handle the compensation plan,” he said. “That isn’t to change the whole scope.”
