Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Additional funding needed to implement a $2,000 pay raise, and pay plan as addressed in the the Legislative Post Audit's Examination of the Current Salaries, Turnover, Overtime and Vacancies for Correctional Officer Positions at the West Virginia Division of Corrections. This will hopefully address the problems with turnover in the Division. As discussed the the Post Audit Examination WV Division of Corrections is one of the lowest paid Division of Corrections in the Country.

Memorandum
Please note that this first year will have both a 2,000 raise and an increase to those under the pay plan. Bill says they both start 7/1/2015
Also I did not figure this but there is no discussion in the Bill whether this is retroactive or not. So if it is that was not figured in this amount either.
These numbers are based only on current employees retaining their job for the next three years, the pay plan increases per the bill, and the difference in the amount of starting salary in vacancies. I did not take into account any of the vacancies being filled and falling under the pay plan.
