General Circular No. 001323

To: Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors

Subject: Pay Changes For Skilled Trades Jobs

Issue Date: July 13, 1998

The Civil Service Commission at its May 7, 1998 meeting approved and forwarded to the Governor a two level Market Grade Adjustment for skilled trades jobs as indicated on the enclosed listing. Governor Foster has approved these Market Grade Adjustments to be effective January 1, 1999. The rate of pay of employees upon the implementation of a Market Grade Adjustment is set according to Civil Service Rule 6.7 (the promotion rule). This rule provides that an employee receive at least a 7% increase and that they may receive up to a 10.5% increase for a two level adjustment.

SF-1's with a nature of action of Market Grade Adjustment must be completed for each employee. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PAY CHANGES ARE NOT EFFECTIVE UNTIL JANUARY 1, 1999 and no SF-1's should be submitted before November 1, 1998. If there are any questions concerning the processing of SF-1's, please call Santa Patterson at (504) 342-8285.

A transmittal sheet noting the pay grade changes will be issued at a later date.

If you have any questions, please call either Randy Juban or Lisa Lusk at (504) 342-8083.

Sincerely,

Allen H. Reynolds

Director
