HOLLIDAYSBURG — The Blair County board expected to address recommendations in an employee salary study is turning its attention toward developing a compensation policy.
The salary board, which scheduled a special meeting today to take action on study recommendations that could have meant pay raises for some employees, agreed Wednesday to keep the recommendations on hold pending development of a compensation policy.
A compensation policy, with rules or guidelines for hiring procedures, promotions, demotions and job transfers, will complement the salary study’s recommendations, Commissioner Bruce Erb said Wednesday when asking fellow salary board members to change the focus of today’s meeting.
