Non-union workers in Luzerne County court branches received 2.5% across-the-board raises for 2024, according to a new report.
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.
Most non-court increases were 2.5%, although some of these non-union workers received 2% or no raise. The county District Attorney’s Office provided 5% increases to non-union workers.
In the court branches, 115 non-union workers received 2.5% raises, the report says. Court officials said funds were budgeted to cover all increases.
After factoring in the increases, the judiciary report lists the following new annual compensation amounts for non-union court workers:
