Already, at the beginning of fiscal year 2022, the city gave a 5% cost of living adjustment to all employees. Citing inflation, Stimpson announced another 2.5% cost of living adjustment citywide effective April 9.
“Since taking office in 2013, it has been a focus of this administration to work towards competitive wages across every department at the City of Mobile. After many years of our city employees receiving no cost-of-living adjustments or merit raises, we have been working from far behind, trying to catch up to our neighboring jurisdictions.
“That is why after a meeting of the personnel board’s supervisory committee on January 18th, the board engaged the University of South Alabama to execute a regional compensation survey. This survey will serve as the first step towards a larger analysis. Additionally, at the request of Fire Chief Jeremy Lami, the City of Mobile will engage a third-party consultant for a more comprehensive pay analysis for all classifications in the city.
“Most recently, at the beginning of fiscal year 2022, we gave a 5% cost of living adjustment to all employees citywide. Because of rising costs due to inflation, we have decided to provide another 2.5% cost of living adjustment citywide effective April 9. Following this step, we will increase our minimum entry level wage from $11.89 an hour to $15.22 an hour effective April 23.
