Included in the city of Brookhaven’s $31.9 million budget for Fiscal Year 2015 is a 3 percent salary increase for city employees, but the process for distibuting the raises hasn’t been implemented.

Last year city council gave across-the-board 3.5 percent raises with a caveat that it was a “one-time-deal.”

This year’s raises are supposed to be merit-based and require a performance evaluation process.

Althoug a year has passed, there is no employee performance review system in place.

During the Dec. 16 council meeting, a discussion among council members and City Manager Marie Garrett revealed that a policy is in the works.
