[Introduced March 24, 2005; referred to the
Committee on Finance.]
A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by
adding thereto a new section, designated §5-5-6, relating to
providing a fifteen percent pay increase for employees of the
Division of Child Protective Services.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended
by adding thereto a new section, designated §5-5-6, to read as
follows:
ARTICLE 5. SALARY INCREASE FOR STATE EMPLOYEES.
§5-5-6. Division of child protective services pay equity salary
adjustment.
The Legislature hereby directs that a pay equity salary
adjustment be provided employees of the Division of Child
Protective Services. This salary adjustment shall be provided from
the funding appropriated to the Division in the fiscal year two
thousand six, and may not be construed to require additional
appropriations from the Legislature.
In the event any provision of this section conflicts with any rule, policy or provision of this code, the provisions of this
section shall control. In determining the pay equity salary
adjustments, the Division may give consideration to employee
tenure, relevant average salaries and any other factors as may be
determined relevant by the Secretary. Due to the limits of
funding, the results of the pay equity salary adjustments are not
subject to the provisions of article six-a, chapter twenty-nine of
this code. The provisions of this section are rehabilitative in
nature and it is the specific intent of the Legislature that no
private cause of action, either express or implied, shall arise
pursuant to the provisions or implementation of this section.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to provide a fifteen
percent pay increase for employees of the Division of Child
Protective Services.
This section is new; therefore, strike-throughs and
underscoring have been omitted.
