No service bonus for staff
No .service bonus should be paid to Christchurch City Council salaried staff and clerical workers, said the council’s policy and finance committee yesterday. Council employees had their pay linked to State rises, and they could not have it both ways, councillors said. Based on the number of years council workers have been employed, a service bonus claimed by the Clerical Union would have cost the council $211,756 in a year. The 10.4 per cent salary rise given to Government workers recently will already cost the council an extra $1,250,000 this financial year. It was backdated to November 10.
About 60 per cent of the extra cost will come from rating accounts. The committee provided for an 18 per cent rise in salaries in its proposed estimates, taking into account the 15 per cent wage rise with backdating and any general wage order later in the year.-
