Ridgewood’s managerial and non-union staff – with the exception of the village manager and police chief – will no longer receive automatic raises, but will be eligible for incentive bonuses based on performance evaluations.
The Village Council voted to approve the changes at a meeting this month by approving two ordinances – one for managerial staff and the other for non-union staff.
Councilman Paul Aronsohn voted against the proposal, contending that incentive bonuses don’t make sense in a time of financial belt tightening.
