7 the legislature that an employee may expect to advance in the salary range to
8 the labor market average rate for the pay grade assigned to a classification";
9 and
10 WHEREAS, to accomplish the Legislature's stated intent, salary ranges need
11 to be adjusted each year to reflect market increases, and funding must be pro-
12 vided to keep current employees' salaries at or progressing toward market; and
13 WHEREAS, the state has been unable to fund market competitive employee pay
14 increases; and
15 WHEREAS, 76.3% of classified state employees are paid below their pay
16 grade policy point; and
17 WHEREAS, classified state employee average wages are below average labor
18 market rates by approximately 14.2%.

20 of the Fifty-eighth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and the
21 Senate concurring therein, that the Legislative Council is authorized to

24 number of legislators and membership from each house appointed to the commit-
25 tee and shall authorize the committee to receive input, advice and assistance
26 from interested and affected parties who are not members of the Legislature.
27 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee will:
28 (1) Review the distribution of health insurance costs;
29 (2) Review the Hay Plan;

41 reimbursed from legislative funds for per diem, mileage or other expenses and
42 shall not have voting privileges regarding the committee's recommendations or
43 proposed legislation.
44 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the committee shall report its findings, rec-
2

2 of the Fifty-eighth Idaho Legislature.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 15048
This resolution directs Legislative Council to appoint an interim
committee to analyze the state employee compensation and benefits
system. The committee is to deliver a report and any recommended
legislation to the next session of the Legislature.
FISCAL NOTE
If this resolution is adopted by the Legislature and the
committee is appointed by Legislative Council, any necessary
Legislator travel and per diem expense would be paid from the
existing legislative appropriation to the Senate and the House of
Representatives. Funding for staff support and expenses would be
provided from the existing appropriation to the Legislative
Council for the Legislative Services Office. There would be no
additional impact upon the general fund as a result of this
resolution.
