Behind the Paychecks: The Board's Role in Compensation
Labor & employment attorney Mike Kluck is presenting “Behind the Paychecks: The board's role in compensation" at the 2025 Commissioners Seminar presented by the County Road Association of Michigan.
Commissioners have one employee: Chief Administrative Office (CAO). The CAO sets pay criteria for all staff and leads contract negotiations. Board over-sight can include comp plans, reviewing negotiated contracts at arm's length.”
