Class & Comp

By Ordinance, the City of Flagstaff increased our minimum wage to $15.00 per hour effective January 1, 2021. Employees whose salary was below the new minimum wage have been adjusted accordingly.  Impaction adjustments may be implemented later as a part of the overall compensation study; however, the timing and budgeting for those is not known at this time.
