§18B-9-3 Higher education classified employee annual salary schedule.

§18B-9-3. Higher education classified employee annual salary schedule.
(a) There is hereby established a state annual salary schedule for classified employees consisting of a minimum annual salary for each pay grade in accordance with years of experience: Provided, That payment of the minimum salary shall be subject to the availability of funds, and nothing in this article shall be construed to guarantee payment to any classified employee of the salary indicated on the schedule at the actual years of experience absent specific legislative appropriation therefor. The minimum salary herein indicated shall be prorated for classified employees working less than thirty-seven and one-half hours per week. Despite any differences in salaries that may occur, a classified employee is equitably compensated in relation to other classified employees in the same pay grade if the following conditions exist:

(1) His or her annual salary is at least the minimum salary that was required for his or her pay grade and years of service on the first day of July, two thousand, on the salary schedule included in this section immediately prior to the effective date of this act; and

(2) Progress is being made by the institution in meeting the salary goals set out in this article.

(b) The commission shall report to the legislative oversight commission on education accountability on the first day of December, two thousand one, and each year thereafter on the progress of the governing boards toward funding the classified employees' salary schedule established pursuant to section three, article nine of this chapter. The report shall include, but not be limited to, a detailed comparison of funding on individual campuses and specifically shall compare the status of funding for exempt and nonexempt classified employees pursuant to subsection (c), section four of this article.

(c) The commission shall conduct a study and report to the legislative oversight commission on education accountability by the first day of December, two thousand one, on the feasibility of considering location differential costs as part of the compensation package for classified employees.

(d) Nothing in this section may be construed to require an appropriation by the Legislature in excess of the legislative funding priorities as set forth in this chapter.
