If you make $14.75 now and get a 2.5% increase, your new rate will be 1.025 x $14.75 = $15.11. You go from an even number to an odd number.
Therefore wages could be odd or even depending on the percentage increase.
I never really believed in percentage increases because the more you make the more you get. The difference from the lowest wage to the highest wage keeps getting further apart.

That harder you work the more you make and the more you get.
Employee's who work harder and do what is necessary to make themselves better at their job then the guy next to them doing the nothing to improve themselves should be paid at a higher rate and should be considered more valuable to the company.
A. You have an person who has been doing the same exact job for 10 years with no ambition to do more then what is required.
B. You have the guy who has been at the job 1 year and does the same job as the other guy but has also learned how to do the job of 2 other guys so that when they are out he can help take up the slack.
Let's see if I had to choose who to let go it would not be the one who shows initiative and wants to learn more then whats required to do his job and improve himself.
Job pay and job security for performance, unlike that whole union crap where your job security is based on seniority not performance.
