Shawnee County gave its employees wage hikes totaling about $5 million after a study it had conducted in 2015 said they were generally underpaid. A similar but less comprehensive study conducted last year on the county’s behalf showed that once again, its employees on average were making less than the competitive market level. … The county remains in the early stages of implementing those recommendations, which were sought in an effort to ensure the wages the county pays are competitive with those offered by similar employers.
