[Amended 8-16-2016 by Ord. No. 2016-08-04]
Pay increases provide a means of recognizing increased competency of the employee in the performance of his/her assigned duties. Employees who receive a satisfactory evaluation following their three-month initial period of employment with the Village may be considered for a merit increase. Thereafter, additional increases may be granted to employees based on the recommendation of the respective committees overseeing the department in which the employee works, with final approval by the Village Board for the appropriate budget year. Increases in salary shall not be awarded on an automatic basis, but shall be contingent upon evaluations or other pertinent data submitted to the Village President, and approved by the Village Board. Salary adjustments shall become effective as designated by the Village Board.
