Pay Procedures
The Personnel Code requires the Director of Central Management Services to prepare and maintain Pay Procedures in order to set out a system to provide fair and reasonable compensation to employees for services rendered.
The Pay Procedures offer various salary schedules and pay ranges, and a set of uniform pay practices for administering the state's compensation program. Periodically, salary surveys are conducted and the range rates are adjusted to assure competitiveness with the labor market. The minimum rates must be sufficient to recruit qualified candidates for each of the different occupations in state government, and the salary range is set to allow agencies to retain an experienced and well trained work force. In addition, the Pay Procedures provide higher rates of pay for the more challenging jobs in an organization in order to offer pay incentives to encourage individuals to assume greater responsibility. By fixing rates to specific kinds of work, competition between agencies is reduced and this helps to control labor costs and stabilize the work force within the system as a whole.
