MONROE - At a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Salary and Personal Committee: • Removed the "probationary rate" of pay from the hiring contacts of James Wiegel, Sheryl Booth, and Paul Morris. The new city hiring policy that began January 2014 does not include a period of probationary pay rates for non-contractual (non-union) employees. The employees will receive back pay for their employment periods under the new policy.
