title

Request by Probate Court No. 2 for approval of a one-time lump salary supplement in lieu of payments over 26 pay periods from the Judicial Maintenance Fund also known as the Probate Support Fund-2161 for staff effective February 11, 2023 for pay date March 3, 2023.

Background and Discussion: These salary supplements are intended as an incentive for future work and to retain and maintain qualified staff.  These incentives are particularly important this year given the ongoing challenges our staff faced and continues to face as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.  Additionally, for decades of these supplements have been paid in one lump sum instead of over time, which is an additional incentive for our staff.

 

 

Expected Impact: There will be no fiscal impact to the current general fund budget.  Fiscal impact will be to the Judicial Maintenance Fund also known as the Probate Court Support Fund 2161
