General Circular No. 001322
To: Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors
Subject: Flexible Pay For Post Certified Police Jobs
Issue Date: July 6, 1998
At its June 3, 1998 meeting the Civil Service Commission approved Special
Pay in the form of Base Supplement of 14% per Rule 6.16(f) for POST Certified
Police jobs on the attached listing. This Special Pay was approved by the
Governor to be effective July 1, 1998. In addition the Commission approved
Flexible Maximum Hire Rates to be effective July 1, 1998 as per the attached
listing.
Base Supplement is an extension of the range maximum. Employees currently at
range maximum will be eligible for pay increases due to the application of
other Civil Service Rules. For instance, an employee at maximum who now has
Base Supplement authorized for his/her position will once again be eligible for
merit increases per Rule 6.14. Also, if an employee is at maximum in a position
for which Base Supplement has been authorized and an agency implements a
Special Entrance Rate, the employee will be eligible for the percent difference
payment authorized per Rule 6.5 (b).
For your convenience we have restated Rule 6.16 (f) below.
Civil Service Rule 6.16 (f) Rate of Pay Upon Approval of Base Supplement.
When market and employment conditions require additional pay above the range
maximum in order to maintain competent and experienced staff, the Commission,
upon request from the appointing authority, may authorize that employees
occupying positions in selected job titles, geographic areas, organizations or
other limiting factors deemed appropriate by the Commission, receive a base
supplement. Any Commission-approved base supplement must also be approved by
the Governor before it can become effective. Authority for such pay may be
adjusted or rescinded by the Commission, with the approval of the Governor,
should market and employment conditions change. When authorized, this base
supplement shall be treated as a part of base pay and must be reported as such.
(1) Upon reaching the range maximum, the salary of an employee whose
position has been authorized base supplement may receive additional pay based
on other provisions of these rules up to the highest rate within the base supplement
and in accordance with any special provisions and conditions specified by the
Commission.
(2) An employee who occupies a position at the time its base supplement
authority is rescinded or adjusted downward by the Commission shall have his
salary set in accordance with the provisions and conditions specified by the
Commission.
(3) An employee who occupies a position at the time its base supplement
authority is moved upward shall have his salary remain the same, unless he
retains eligibility for other adjustments authorized under other provisions of
the Rules and unless the salary is set in accordance with any special
provisions and conditions specified by the Commission.
Base Supplement is usually expressed as a percentage that is added to the
maximum of the range. For example, an employee in a GS-10 with a range of
$1277-2109 with a 14% Base Supplement will have $296 added to the maximum of
the range. The employee will be eligible for $296 more pay than he would be if
there was no Base Supplement. Base Supplement only affects those employees who
are at range maximum.
Base Supplement is available to an employee only as long as he/she remains
in a job for which it is authorized. If an employee leaves a position with Base
Supplement to accept a transfer, promotion, detail, demotion, etc., to a
position without Base Supplement, the employees pay goes back to the true rate
(or range maximum) to calculate the salary change.
SF-20 "0" requests must be entered for all positions for which you
will use Base Supplement. The fifth line is reserved for recording Base
Supplement. The Earnings Type should be BAS and the amount should be expressed
as a percentage. For example, a Base Supplement of 10% would be entered on the
fifth line of the earnings/type amount area as follows:
Earnings/Type Amount
BAS 0.10
No SF-1's are required at the point that Base Supplement is approved. In
other words, we should not get SF-1's with Base Supplement as the nature of
action.
If an employee in a job with approved Base Supplement is at or within 4% of
the maximum of his pay range, the agency will now be able to give the full 4%
to such an employee. As long as you have updated position control as mentioned
above, there is no need for any special reference to Base Supplement. The same
information applies to promotions and other personnel actions increasing pay
for such employees. If there are questions concerning the processing of SF-1's
call Santa Patterson at (504) 342-8285.
A training session will be held for agencies unfamiliar with the use of
either Base Supplement or Flexible Maximum Hire Rates on Monday, July 27, 1998
from 9:00 to 11:00 at the DOTD Auditorium. This training is open to agency
management and Human Resources staff. PLEASE RSVP at (504) 342-8083 or e-mail
at llusk@dscs.state.la.us.
If you have any questions, please call Lisa Lusk at 504-342-8083.
Sincerely,
Allen H. Reynolds
