[Introduced February 9, 2005; referred to the Committee

____________
A BILL to amend and reenact §18B-9-5 of the Code of West Virginia,
1931, as amended, relating to the incremental salary increase
for classified employees of higher education; and reinstating
the annual incremental increase for classified employees.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §18B-9-5 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended,
be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 9. CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEE SALARY SCHEDULE AND CLASSIFICATION
SYSTEM.
§18B-9-5. Classified employee salary.
(a) Any classified employee may receive merit increases and
salary adjustments in accordance with policies established by the
board of governors. Merit raises may be granted only pursuant to
a rule adopted by the board of governors, and approved by the
chancellor. The rule shall provide a fair and equitable basis for granting merit raises pursuant to regular evaluations based upon
reasonable performance standards.
(b) The current annual salary of any classified employee may
not be reduced by the provisions of this article nor by any other
action inconsistent with the provisions of this article. Nothing
in this article prohibits promotion of any classified employee to
a job title carrying a higher pay grade if the promotion is in
accordance with the provisions of this article and the personnel
classification system established by the appropriate governing
board.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, each
classified employee with three or more years of experience shall
receive an annual salary increase equal to fifty dollars times the
employee's years of experience. These incremental increases are in
lieu of any salary increase received pursuant to section two,
article five, chapter five of this code and are in addition to any
across-the-board, cost-of-living or percentage salary increases
which may be granted in any fiscal year by the Legislature and
shall be paid in like manner as the annual payment to eligible
state employees of the incremental salary increases based on years
of service under the provisions of section two, article five,
chapter five of this code.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to reinstate mandatory
incremental salary increases for classified employees of higher
education based on years of service without a cap on the number of
years of service.
Strike-throughs indicate language that would be stricken from
the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would
be added.
