Mayor Eric Adams quietly approved a $2.1 billion raise package, retroactively boosting salaries by 16.2% for non-union employees. The increases are compounded annually over five years.
Managers and non-union employees making $100,000 will see their pay rise to $112,550 next month and $116,208 the following year. Those earning $200,000 could see a surge to $232,417.
Affected staffers, including deputy mayors and agency commissioners, received a lump sum bonus of $3,000 and could get additional pay raises at department heads' discretion.
The raised salaries will be funded with cash from reserve funds resulting from the city's 'strong fiscal management.' No major service disruptions, layoffs, or tax hikes are anticipated.
