Compensation

May 11, 2016

Payroll
Almost all employees will receive at least a
3.0% pay increase for 2016-2017.
With a projected total payroll of $51.9 million
in 2015-2016, an increase of almost $1.6
million is expected.

May 11, 2016

Health Care
After years of very slowly growing health care
costs, CASDs renewal for 2016-2017 is an
increase of 10.6%.
With projected costs of $13.1 million in 20152016, an increase of $1.4 million is expected.

May 11, 2016

Retirement
2016-2017 will be another fiscal year with a
large increase in the retirement contribution
rate. The underlying rate increase is 16.2%,
and pay raises drive the cost up further.
With projected net (the Commonwealth
subsides half of the total) costs of $6.7 million
in 2015-2016, an increase of $1.3 million is
expected.
