County revises more of their salary surveys On February 4, 2026, the County gave us more revised salary surveys. They added in salary increases that San Mateo and Novato gave to their employees in late 2025, and made some other changes based on presentations that MAPE members gave to them at the bargaining table.

County revises more of their salary surveys On 1/14/2026 the County gave MAPE five more salary surveys that they have revised because members told them their surveys were wrong! Good news for the people in these classifications and those in the benchmark families where the median ended up being higher.

County has revised some of their salary surveys Some of the revised surveys show a new "market median" which could result in a higher equity increase for people in the benchmark family of classifications, but other revisions did not change the market median.
