 16        SECTION 7.  Agencies and institutions shall  distribute  the  funding  for
 17    employee compensation based on merit as follows:
 18        (a)  Agencies  and  institutions  are  directed to, based on merit, target
 19        funding first toward high turnover classifications and  individuals  below
 20        midpoint within their agency.
 21        (b)  Agencies  and  institutions  are  directed to, based on merit, target
 22        funding second toward positions within their agency that are below  ninety
 23        percent (90%) of the Compa-Ratio.
 24        (c)  Agencies  and institutions are directed to target any remaining fund-
 25        ing based on merit using the merit matrix required by Idaho Code.
 26    Agencies and institutions shall create compensation and distribution plans  to
 27    ensure  that  they  are  consistent with the policies contained herein. Agency
 28    directors and institutional presidents shall approve all compensation and dis-
 29    tribution plans and ensure that implementation of the plans is consistent with
 30    policies contained herein. Each agency  and  institution  shall  forward,  for
 31    informational  purposes,  approved copies of the compensation and distribution
 32    plans to the Legislative Services Office and the Division of Financial Manage-
 33    ment by June 1, 2007. The effective date of implementation of  ongoing  salary
 34    adjustments shall be June 17, 2007.
                                                                        
 35        SECTION  8.  The  Department of Administration is hereby directed to allo-
 36    cate salary savings, based on performance,  to  provide  for  employee  salary
 37    needs  before other operational budget priorities are considered. Where appli-
 38    cable, employees whose salaries are below the midpoint of their pay  grade  or
 39    occupational  groups with significant turnover rates shall be considered first
 40    in the order of salary savings distributions.
                                                                        
 41        SECTION  9.  The  Department  of  Administration  is  directed  to   cover
 42    increased premiums costs from the reserve balance in excess of the actuarially
 43    required  reserve amount. The Department of Administration is further directed
 44    to institute an additional insurance plan option in  order  to  provide  state
 45    employees a choice that better meets the employee's individual needs and bene-
 46    fit  coverage  desires. The Department of Administration is therefore directed
 47    to maintain the current insurance plans with benefits consistent  within  cur-
 48    rent benefits coverage and an optional plan with premiums consistent with cur-
 49    rent 2007 premiums for both the employer and the employee.
