Raises

Newest first

“Was” is the last date we saw the old figure; “Now” is the latest check that still showed the new one. A raise counts only when starting pay on the same posting (or the department's repost of it) rose at least 2% and at least $1,000 a year (50¢ an hour for hourly pay), held on two or more checks and never went back. Rounding, a unit filled in later and figures that flip between feeds are left out. Verify with the department before relying on a figure.
