Officials Set Minimum and Maximum Salaries for Township Employees

Salaries set to prevent new hires from starting with higher pay grade.

Springfield's Township Committee will make the final vote on an ordinance setting the salary range for municipal employees this week. 

At a prior meeting on the ordinance, Deputy Mayor David Amlen said it was written to prevent new hires replacing longtime staff from starting with the higher salaries accrued by the outgoing employees.

The salaries listed below are not necessarily reflective of current employee salaries, and only represent a possible range.
