A BILL

TO AMEND SECTION 8-11-230, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO THE DUTIES OF THE STATE BUDGET AND CONTROL BOARD AND ITS DIVISION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, SO AS TO REQUIRE THE BOARD TO DEVISE AND IMPLEMENT A CAREER INCREMENT PAY PLAN FOR CLASSIFIED STATE EMPLOYEES.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. The last paragraph of Section 8-11-230 of the 1976 Code is amended by adding:

"12. Develop and implement a career increment pay plan for classified state employees. The pay plan shall provide for longevity base pay increases for classified employees. Classified state employees would be eligible for annual increases based upon the provisions of the plan. These increases are in addition to any other provided by the General Assembly. The plan shall provide for increases limited to fifteen steps of equal percentage from the minimum to the maximum salary for each of the pay grades. Each classified employee shall receive the pay increment on their anniversary date provided their performance evaluation is at least a satisfactory rating. Employees shall continue to receive pay increments annually based on their annual performance evaluations. Pay increments may not be given which would result in exceeding the maximum salary for the employee's pay grade. No pay increment may be given for that period of time that an employee's performance evaluation is less than a satisfactory rating."

SECTION 2. This act takes effect July 1, 1995.
