Non-union workers in Luzerne County court branches received 2% across-the-board raises for 2023, according to a new report.
This mirrors the increases county Acting Manager Brian Swetz authorized for non-union employees under his supervision this year.
The county administration released a report on the raises and new compensation last week, but it did not include court workers that fall under the management of the county Court of Common Pleas.
In total, 85 court workers received 2% raises, the report says. Court officials said funds were budgeted to cover all increases.
