DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Staff Attorneys provide critical support to the judges. Currently, there’s a notable discrepancy between the salaries of County funded and State funded Staff Attorney positions. This gap risks creating an unintended “second tier” among staff attorneys, which could undermine morale, recruitment and retention. Bringing County funded Staff Attorney salaries closer to the State funded level will help ensure equity, maintain the high caliber of support our judges rely on, and uphold the overall effectiveness of judicial operations. Funding for this adjustment will not come from general revenue, but rather from court fees collected pursuant to Florida Statute 939.185.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
Expenditure of $10,083
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the reclassification of one (1) Trial Court Staff Attorney position, pay grade 112 exempt, to one (1) Trial Court Staff Attorney position, pay grade 114 exempt, within the budget of Court Innovations CE270606.
