[Michlib-l] Class 1, 2, 3 libraries

[Deb Hemmye]

I've been slowly raising our hourly staff wages for the past three years and I finally have our pages (our lowest paid staff) at $12.00. They were at $9.87 when I started in 2022. I've been raising everyone else at the same time, but at a slower rate. For February, only the pages will get bumped up to the $12.48. The rest will remain where they are for a bit.

Small Michigan libraries - 
How are you handling the raise in minimum wage in February? 
Are you giving raises to the whole staff or just to those earning below $12.48? (Yes, we have one person in that group.) 
Giving everyone a 20% raise would be awesome, but would totally blow our budget. I'm just looking to see how all of your boards are handling this. 
Thanks for your wisdom!
