1994 LoCAL GOVERNMENT WAGE & SALARY SURVEY

county Government
Public Works Employment

Introduction

The Georgia Department of Community Affairs began collecting wage and salary data in 1987, providing key reference information for state and local elected officials, administrators, and citizens. This publication is the result of data collected from the 1995 County Wage and Salary Survey, administered by the Office of Information Services, Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
Separate publications are available in county and municipal government editions for 1995 wage and salary data covering four key areas of local government employment: administration and general, public safety, public works, and solid waste. Each publication contains an appendix with summary information on fringe benefits, as well as an appendix listing the jurisdictions responding to the 1995 County Wage and Salary Survey. Data on elected officials' salaries can be obtained by calling the Office of Information Services, Georgia Department of Community Affairs, at (404) 679-4950. We would like to thank local officials and staff who took the time to complete the survey. Their participation has made this publication possible.

DataIn this Publlcadon

This publication includes data on wages and salaries for county government public works employees as of October 1, 1995. Wage and salary data are collected and reported for full-time positions only. Full-time employment, for the purposes of this report, is defined as 35 hours or more per week. Governments are also asked to report the number of employees in each position. Data reported for vacant positions will reflect a "0" in the "Number of full-time employees" column. Where data elements have not been reported by a local government, "NR" will appear.
The survey requested the entry level and maximum wage on either an hourly or annual basis. If hourly figures were reported, the information was converted to an annual salary based on the number of weekly hours reported. If hours were not reported, a 40-hour work week was assumed. Public safety positions are the exception to this reporting basis; refer to the current year's public safety publication for an explanation of special features related to data for those positions. If a government did not have a pay scale or salary range, it was instructed to enter the actual salary paid to an incumbent as both the minimum and maximum rates.

Job Destrlpdons

Job descriptions for positions included in this report are arranged in alphabetical order and can be found following this Introduction. Local governments were asked to provide salary information for those jobs whose duties most closely resemble the job descriptions included in this report, even if their government uses a different job title for that particular position.

Populadon Groups

Population groups are used to facilitate comparison of detailed and summary data on jurisdictions of similar size. Population group ranges reported in the table use 1990 Bureau of the Census populations; the table reflects both the number of jurisdictions in each group and the number of jurisdictions responding to the 1995 survey.
