COMMENTS:

This is the fiscal year 1999 appropriation for the Department of Labor in the amount of
$604,600.

Until FY 1997, the Department of Labor was known as the Department of Employment.  Most
of the department operates under a continuous appropriation.  Only the Wage & Hour
Section and the Idaho Rural Partnership are appropriated by the Legislature.

This is a maintenance of current operations budget.  It contains no funding for new
programs or activities.  It includes fully funded personnel cost increases to cover
higher employer-paid benefit costs, a 2.6% inflationary increase for operating expenses,
and a 5% change in employee compensation (CEC) for merit based pay increases with an
emphasis on moving deserving employees to the policy pay level.

The Fund Shift transfers spending authority of $5,600 for a federal fund that is capped
at $144,000 to the miscellaneous revenue fund.

At the direction of the Joint Finance-Appropriations Committee, $5,000 of the Idaho Rural 
Partnership's operating expenses are transferred for personnel uses.  The Partnership's
board of directors has full discretion as to how to distribute all personnel funding.
