Kane County Board OKs 3% raises for non-union department employees

The Kane County Board on Tuesday approved 3% raises for non-union employees in the county’s various departments and for non-union employees working in the County Board office.

The 3% pay hike applies to all non-union employees working in county departments, including but not limited to department heads and Animal Control employees, officials have said. Employees whose pay is set by a collective bargaining agreement, statute, ordinance or employment contract will not be included, nor will employees who have been working in the county for less than 90 days.

On Tuesday, the board also approved a separate measure granting 3% raises for non-union employees working in the County Board office. That includes a total of seven employees — four directly within the County Board office and three who oversee the spending of the county’s American Rescue Plan Act, or ARPA, funds.

The raises are effective as of Dec. 7, 2025, which was the start of the first pay period after the beginning of the county’s 2026 fiscal year.

To cover the additional costs from the raises for department employees, the county is going to be using the fund balance reserves of each fund. The nearly $300,000 that would otherwise have been taken out of the county’s general fund will instead be accounted for by expense reductions.

The $27,450 in additional costs to pay for the Animal Control raises will be covered by reducing expenses, officials have said. The Animal Control Department is primarily funded by fees, rather than through the general fund.

The raises in the Kane County Board office will be accounted for via expense reductions within the general fund — the bulk of it coming from what had been budgeted for the county’s strategic plan, which the board opted not to fund in the 2026 fiscal year and for which the county’s contract is set to expire in February.
