Cowley County commissioners approved a new pay plan for county employees Tuesday night in front a packed meeting hall full of county employees. The pay plan was developed after a months-long process that involved a team led by county administrator Lukas Goff, county department heads and a study conducted by McGrath Human Resources Group. That study found 69 percent of the county’s pay scale was below average market pay rates, leading to a very high turnover in employees in every department over the past several years. The county’s goal now is to reach 50% of workers within the average market rate.
