revised salary scale range from 6.6 per cent for social worker Ellen Mustoe to 11.9 per cent for food stamp clerk Dorothy Rector. In addition. Mustoe and eligibility workers Juanita Miko and Nancy Reeve are due for scheduled five pier cent merit raises in the coming budget year.
Mrs. Buntin reported that the adjusted salary scale had been approved by the state welfare board and now awaits action from the General Assembly to appropriate the necessary funds.
Services Neglected
“There are a dozen reasons why we should hire another social worker,” said Mrs. Buntin in justifying her request for the additional position. “As you're aware, 1 haven’t been able to get my work done. I'm behind on the board minutes. I'm behind on everything. The worst of it is. adult services are going lacking. You might not see it because no one has complained but the lack is there.
“There are five referrals on my desk that haven't been handled—all for adult protective services,” Mrs. Buntin continued acknowledging that this was her area of responsibility. "A slipshod job done with any part of our services hurts our reputation with the community,” she added.
In addition, she maintained that the extra social worker was necessary to ensure the welfare department’s line of succession. "We need to be training people to move up. If Ellen {social worker Ellen Mustoe) should leave—and she's thought of it—we have no trained person to take her job.
