General Circular No. 001670

 

To:                   Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors

 

Subject:            Entering/Editing JOB SEARCH vacancy postings to reflect Mandatory Special Entrance Rates for WS 201-203, SS 401, MS 501-502, and AS 601-602

 

Issue Date:       July 31, 2006

 

 

The State Civil Service Commission has approved a mandatory statewide Special Entrance Rate (SER) of $6.15 per hour for all jobs in the following pay grades:  WS 201, WS 202, WS 203, AS 601, AS 602, MS 501, MS 502, and SS 401, effective August 14, 2006. 

 

This change in the minimum salary in the pay grades will have two effects on the DSCS JOB SEARCH Internet posting system: 1. All postings for jobs in the affected pay grades will have to be edited on August 14, 2006, to reflect the new SER in the minimum monthly salary field and 2. All vacancy postings for jobs in the affected pay grades, created on or after August 14, 2006, will have to reflect the new SER in the minimum monthly salary field, by a manual entry of the minimum monthly salary.

 

DSCS will edit all existing postings on JOB SEARCH as of August 14, 2006, to reflect the new minimum salary SER.


 

Human resource persons creating vacancy postings in the JOB SEARCH system, for jobs in the affected pay grades on or after August 14, 2006, will have to override the system generated minimum monthly pay and enter the new monthly minimum reflecting the mandatory statewide SER.  This can be done by simply entering the new SER minimum monthly pay in the “Min Monthly Salary” field on the vacancy posting.   

 

The new minimum monthly pay reflecting the mandatory statewide SER effective on August 14, 2006 will be:

 

WS 201           $1066.00        

WS 202           $1066.00                    

WS 203           $1066.00

AS 601            $1066.00

AS 602            $1066.00

MS 501           $1066.00

MS 502           $1066.00

SS 401             $1066.00
