Finance Committee members favored a 2 percent salary increase over a $1,000 salary adjustment as a raise for full-time city employees on Tuesday night.“To me, the percentage is the fairest way to go,” said Alderman Mike Neal. The difference between the two is who gets the lion’s share of the money. Giving a percentage means higher paid employees would get a larger pay increase than lower paid employees, while giving each employee the same salary adjustment would give lower paid employees a larger percent increase than higher paid employees.“I feel the same way,” said Alderman Ben Newman.
