Salary Grade Adjustments

The Commissioner may adjust the salary grades of classifications to recognize changes in the duties, responsibilities, and authority. The Commissioner may also establish new salary ranges as a result of a competitive market analysis or a study focusing on recruiting and retaining employees in specific job classifications. The salary grade changes are subject to budgetary limitations and approval by the Commissioner of Finance and Administration. Any employee whose salary is below the minimum of the new salary range shall be adjusted at least to the new minimum. Any employee whose salary is above the maximum of the new salary range shall not receive an increase, unless approved by the Commissioner.
