The new probation officer hired in Marshall County will make significantly less than the veteran who vacated the position. The county council set a starting salary of $16.44 an hour for the new hire, who will also be on a 90 day probationary period at 90-percent pay. The officer who left was making $22.22 an hour. Marshall County Council members noted the new hire will work his way up to a higher wage during his time of employment. Auditor Penny Lukenbill told the council it’s been quite some time since new employees have been hired and sought guidance on a pay scale for them.
