The changes will be made based on the results of the Carl Vinson Institute wage comprehensive study at the University of Georgia.

“The goal is not only to provide fair and competitive compensation to our employees but also to ensure we can fairly evaluate new candidates and work performance,” said Dr. LisaRae Jones, Hall County’s human resources director.

The study was started in 2019, but was suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
