27 (b) It is hereby declared to be the intent of the legislature that an
28 employee may expect to advance in the salary range to the labor market average
29 rate for the pay grade assigned to a classification. Advancement in pay shall
30 be based solely on performance, including factors such as productivity, reli-
31 ability, effectiveness, and the ability to achieve the goals and objectives of
32 the particular position. No employee shall advance in a salary range without
33 performance evaluation by the employee's immediate supervisor, approved by the
34 departmental director or the director's designee certifying that the employee
35 meets the performance criteria of the assigned position.
36 (i) When necessary to obtain or retain qualified personnel in a particu-
37 lar classification, upon petition of the appointing authority to the
38 administrator containing acceptable reasons therefor, a higher temporary
39 pay grade may be authorized by the administrator which, if granted, shall
40 be reviewed annually to determine the need for continuance.
41 (ii) Each employee's work performance shall be evaluated after one thou-
42 sand forty (1,040) hours of credited state service from the date of ini-
43 tial appointment or promotion and after each two thousand eighty (2,080)
2
1 hours of credited state service thereafter by his or her immediate super-
2 visor. Employees may be eligible for advancement in pay, if certified as
3 meeting the performance requirements of subsection (b) of this section;
4 however, such in-grade advancement shall not be construed as a vested
5 right. The department director shall designate, upon agreement with the
6 employee, whether such in-grade advancement is temporary, conditional or
7 permanent. It shall be the specific responsibility of the supervisor and
8 the departmental director to effect the evaluation prescribed in subsec-
9 tion (b) of this section on an evaluation form approved by the administra-
10 tor for that purpose.
11 (iii) In addition to pay increases authorized in paragraph (ii) of this
12 subsection, the department director may grant a classified employee hold-
13 ing permanent status a lump sum bonus not to exceed one thousand dollars
14 ($1,000) in any given fiscal year based upon excellent performance as
15 indicated by the performance evaluation as outlined in subsection (b) of
16 this section. Exceptions to the one thousand dollar ($1,000) limit pro-
17 vided in this section may be granted if approved in advance by the state
18 board of examiners.
19 SECTION 2. This act shall be in full force and effect on and after July
20 1, 2000.
