After the evaluations are reviewed for completeness, they will be forwarded to the county judge or director of schools, Allen stated. These two officials will review the evaluations with their personnel managers, and will allocate merit raises in accordance with the amount funded for such raises, Allen explained.

The budget committee of the court will decided how much will be funded for merit raises in the general county budget and the school board will decide for the schools, Allen said. If there are more merit raises approved than there are funds for, the county judge and the director of schools will have to meet with the heads to decide who will receive the raise and who will not, Allen stated. Allen acknowledged this system could cause some hard feelings from employees who are dropped because of a lack of funds or are not approved for a merit raise. "If you have a merit system it has to be based on a competitive nature," he said. "This type of system will cause some people to feel slighted, he continued.

"But it is the most equitable system based on performance and work load, and cuts out the automatic factor, he added. The system will not eliminate acrossthe board cost-of-living raise is approved by the court all county employees will receive it.
