Kentucky social service workers will receive salary increases beginning September 16.
The changes apply to about 3,765 social service and family support workers across Kentucky. A “career ladder” will increase pay for workers moving up in their area of expertise, and creates categories within certain areas enabling workers to seek higher classifications for higher pay.
This is the first major pay raise for state social service workers since 2008.
Entry-level workers who start at $32,042 a year will get an increase of about $1,600 a year. Supervisors who start at $38,770 a year will get $2,030 more. However, top supervisors who have already reached the maximum pay level will not receive raises.
The salary increases are covered with $4.8 million Governor Matt Bevin included in the state’s two-year budget.
