What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Cayuga County proposed raising pay grades for understaffed positions in its 911 Center and Department of Social Services to address recruitment and retention problems. The proposal, which included moving caseworkers from Grade 17 to Grade 19, was tabled after debate over union concerns. The union, CSEA, has not agreed to the changes, and negotiations for a successor collective bargaining agreement are ongoing.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

County officials proposed the pay increases because the Department of Social Services is facing severe staffing problems, with caseworker caseloads being tied for the highest in New York state. The inability to fill these roles affects the core operational capacity of the Department of Social Services.
