A BILL to amend and reenact §5-5-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to incremental salary increases for full-time faculty member employees of state institutions of higher education.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §5-5-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 5. SALARY INCREASE FOR STATE EMPLOYEES.
§5-5-1. Definitions.
For the purposes of this article:
(a) "Eligible employee" means either of the following:
(1) Any regular full-time employee of the state or any spending unit of the state who is eligible for membership in any state retirement system of the State of West Virginia or other retirement plan authorized by the state: Provided, That the mandatory salary increase required by this article shall not apply to any faculty employee at state institutions of higher education, or any employee of the state whose compensation is fixed by statute or by statutory schedule other than employees described in this section. Clerks, deputy clerks and magistrate assistants of magistrate courts are eligible for the incremental salary increases provided in this article with the increases to be allowable in addition to the maximum salaries and compensation for the employee offices under the magistrate court system statutes of article one, chapter fifty of the code. This article may not be construed to mandate an increase in the salary of any elected or appointed officer of the state; or
(2) Any classified employee as defined in section two, article nine, chapter eighteen-b of this code who is an employee of a state institution of higher education, or of the higher education policy commission or the council for community and technical college education; or
(3) Effective on the first day of July, two thousand six and thereafter, any full-time faculty member as defined in section one, article eight, chapter eighteen-b of this code who is an employee of a state institution of higher education, the higher education policy commission or the council for community and technical college education;
(b) "Years of service" means full years of totaled service as an employee of the State of West Virginia: Provided, That a full-time faculty member, as defined in section one, article eight, chapter eighteen-b of this code, employed pursuant to a contract for nine months or more during a year shall be credited to a full year of service: Provided, however, That no more than one year of service may be credited to any full-time faculty member for service rendered by him or her in any fiscal year; and
(c) "Spending unit" means any state office, department, agency, board, commission, institution, bureau or other designated body authorized to hire employees.

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to include certain faculty at state institutions of higher education among those state employees eligible for incremental salary increases.
