Tecumseh councillors have approved giving themselves a slight wage increase.
The town recently negotiated a 2% wage hike in 2022 for its union staff — similar increases will now be applied to non-union employees and members of council.
Mayor Gary McNamara will receive a 2% boost while deputy mayor Joe Bachetti will see 0.5% and councillors 1%.
According to a report, adjustments are made to the wage grid each year based on a number of factors including the annual consumer price index which came in at 4.4% from December 2020 to December 2021.
The wage increases were included in the town's 2022 budget and will have no further impact on the tax rate.
