Montgomery County, PA

Neil K. Makhija, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners: “Montgomery County sets the standard for what public service looks like — we have top talent working hard to deliver for our nearly 900,000 residents.” Today, the Montgomery County Commissioners voted to approve a historic increase to the minimum starting wage for County employees. Salaries for all County jobs will now begin at $20.52 per hour, as part of a broader strategy to ensure Montgomery County is a place where everyone wants to live, work, and serve. Increasing the starting salary for County employees is the most recent step that Montco has taken to lead by example in workforce retention and recruitment. In the last several years, the County has: ✅ Undertaken a county-wide comprehensive compensation study that resulted in 88.8% of eligible employees receiving a salary increase in their paycheck in 2024. ✅ Instituted the most family-friendly paid parental leave policy for government employees in Pennsylvania by doubling the parental paid leave from 6 weeks to 12 weeks. ✅ Invested in new benefits such as financial support for childcare.
