Clark County’s nonunion employees will see a 3 percent increase in their paychecks starting Jan. 1 after the county council unanimously approved the increases Tuesday.
The pay increases apply to M1, M2 and M3 employee classifications. M1 employees include department heads, deputies of elected departments and other senior staff; M2 employees are senior and middle managers, first-line supervisors and nonsupervisor professionals; M3 employees include all other hourly employees not represented by a union.
Lora Provolt, director of human resources, said the raises were needed to remain competitive and ensure equity.
“It is important to make sure that we are being competitive with this group and (have) comparable adjustments to keep pace with the represented groups,” Provolt told the council.
