Mark Hall is the Vice Chairman of the Bradley County Commission.CLEVELAND, Tenn. — A Bradley County employee compensation study panel has achieved its first benchmark: commitments of cooperation from most of the county’s departments.
Last week, the county Compensation Committee discussed the next steps to develop a uniform job and salary grade system that may include a merit pay program for all county employees.
Panel officials agreed the lack of a countywide compensation plan should be addressed, as departments have been left to implement their own plans.
A key to creating a unified system will be accurate job data from the departments, which includes detailed job descriptions, requisite training, and salary and benefits, said Renee Samples, county human resources director.
The panel wants to assure elected officials of its intentions, said Mark Hall, vice chairman of the Bradley County Commission.
