Boone County’s Finance, Taxation and Salary Committee considers 3% raise for non-union employees

Several proposals were discussed at Monday’s evening meeting.   Discussion centered on a 6%, a 3% increase and a 3% increase only for non-union employees making less than $50,000.  The issue will be discussed again at a committee meeting scheduled for Tuesday , October 14.

Below are the list of non-union employees possibly affected by the salary increase.  Please note that in the case of employees of elected officials (such as the Sheriff)—the county only would approve an increase in the personnel budget of the department, any increase would be the prerogative of the elected official.

These employees do not participate in the Social Security Program; most participate in the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMFR).  None of the figures below consider either the employee or county’s contribution  The individual contributes 4.5% of their wages; the county contributes 10.27% of wages. There is a separate levy for IMFR therefore the county’s additional IMFR contribution is not paid out of the General Fund and not included in the budget of the General Fund.  Individuals in the Sheriff’s Department participate in the SLEP program, the employee contributes 6.5% and the county’s contribution is 21.37%.
