[By Request of the Executive]
[Passed June 25, 2008; in effect from passage.]
AN ACT to amend and reenact §5-5-2 of the Code of West Virginia,
1931, as amended, relating to annual incremental salary
increases to certain state employees based on years of
service.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §5-5-2 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be
amended and reenacted, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 5. SALARY INCREASE FOR STATE EMPLOYEES.
§5-5-2. Granting incremental salary increases based on years of
service.
(a) Every eligible employee with three or more years of
service shall receive an annual salary increase equal to sixty
dollars times the employee's years of service. In each fiscal year
and on the first day of July, each eligible employee shall receive
an annual increment increase of sixty dollars for that fiscal year.
(b) Every employee becoming newly eligible as a result of
meeting the three years of service minimum requirement on the first day of July in any fiscal year is entitled to the annual salary
increase equal to sixty dollars times the employee's years of
service, where he or she has not in a previous fiscal year received
the benefit of an increment computation. Thereafter, the employee
shall receive a single annual increment increase of sixty dollars
for each subsequent fiscal year.
(c) These incremental increases 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.
(d) This section shall not be construed to prohibit other pay
increases based on merit, seniority, promotion or other reason, if
funds are available for the other pay increases: Provided, That
the executive head of each spending unit shall first grant the
mandated increase in compensation in this section to all eligible
employees prior to the consideration of any increases based on
merit, seniority, promotion or other reason.
