Workers in Stokes will receive bonuses under new schedule

DANBURY (Winston-Salem Journal) - Some Stokes County employees have gone several years without raises, but this holiday season the county’s employees will get presents from the county - bonuses and even raises for some.

None of the county’s employees have received cost-of-living raises since the 2005-06 fiscal year, said Darlene Bullins, the county’s personnel officer.

And under the incomplete salary schedule that the county has been using, each job had a starting salary, a midpoint salary and a range for high-level salary, with no rules of how to assign raises, said Commissioner Ron Carroll, who also served on the committee that recommended the new salary schedule.
