Pay Grade and Pay Band Adjustments

It is the intent of the Legislature that the minimums for each pay grade
and  pay band shall not be adjusted during the 2013-2014 fiscal year and
that  the  maximums  for  each  pay grade and pay band shall be adjusted
upward  by  8.0  percent, effective July 1, 2013. If after adjustment of
the  maximums  for the pay grades and pay bands, an employee's base rate
of  pay  is  equal  to  or  greater  than  the  adjusted  maximum of the
employee's  pay  grade  or  pay  band,  the  employee  will be granted a
one-time, lump sum payment in lieu of an increase to the employee's base
rate  of  pay.   When  an  employee's  base rate of pay is less than the
adjusted  maximum,  the  employee's  salary  will  be  increased  to the
adjusted  maximum  and  the  portion  of  the  increase that exceeds the
adjusted maximum shall be granted a one-time, lump sum payment.
