Merit pay out of control: CouncillorMilczyn says bonuses for city managers have become automatic |
If Mayor David Miller had made it a priority to overhaul the city's generous system of awarding merit pay to senior bureaucrats, it could be accomplished by now, Councillor Peter Milczyn charged yesterday.
This week the mayor's blue ribbon panel on city finances became the latest to take issue with the merit pay doled out to senior officials, who stand this year to score a bonus of up to 3% on top of their 3.25% cost-of-living increase.
The panel urged the city to show leadership by taking a second look at its merit pay policy with an eye to ensuring those who meet "challenging targets" receive larger benefits than other less successful managers.
