Fishers city employees may be getting a pay bump

The Fishers City Council is scheduled to vote on a pay raise for city workers.

According to the agenda for Monday night’s Council session, there will be a vote on a proposal increasing the annual salary of sworn public safety employees by $2500  and increase civilian annual salaries by $1000. The adjustment will be effective immediately following the approval of this ordinance.

The Council can suspend the rules and give final approval to this measure with a unanimous Council vote Monday.  The city says this action will support retention and recruitment of city staff following a review of comparable municipalities.

If enacted Monday night, the estimated additional $520,000 needed to fund this salary increase will come from “unused” appropriations from the current year budget, but city officials do not rule out the possibility of asking the Council for additional money to fund this increase yet this year.

This increase is in addition to any pay hike the city may offer city employees in 2025.
