Council Approves Employee Pay Increase

News – Sheridan Media

Employee retention has been an issue for the City of Sheridan the past several years. Since 2017, the City has experienced an employee turnover rate of between 10 and 15 percent each year, and last year, 18 employees left the City for a better paying job. The Sheridan City Council this week approved a resolution that provides a six percent pay increase for all City employees. City Human Resources Director Heather Doke addressed the Council before they voted to approve the pay increase.
