After almost twenty years of receiving annual bonuses based on longevity of service within the county, our county employees will now have their own bonuses reduced, and any new hires to the county will not receive them at all. Commissioner Hoagland, who had his longevity pay severed last year after it became a political issue, has finally succeeded in decreasing this benefit to the employees of the county.
But what did they lose? More than anything else, a motivational tool for hiring and retention of county employees. Longevity pay was touted as unneccesary because Collin County is 'agressive' in their salary system. But being agressive as a government entity is near impossible unless you take into account annual bonuses and benefits that private sector employees receive. And longevity pay USED to do that for the county.
It was a retention tool and a morale builder because it not only gave employees a reward for sticking around, it gave them something to look forward to in the far future. Now in five short years, we'll have two classes of employees - those who get big checks at the end of each year, and those who wonder what the heck they're still doing working for the government.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
