Public employment: salary ranges.

Existing law prescribes the duties of the Department of Human Resources, which include the administration of salaries, hours, and other aspects of the state's personnel system. Existing law requires the Department of Human Resources to establish and adjust salary ranges for each class of position in the state civil service, subject to merit limits and except as specified. Existing law requires the salary range to be based on the principle that like salaries be paid for comparable duties and responsibilities. This bill would require the Department of Human Resources to address salary compaction and parity in determining salaries for supervisory and managerial employees. The bill would also require the department, if it determines that revenues do not allow the department to implement a salary determination to increase any excluded and exempt employee salaries in a given year, to provide to the Legislature certain data on the salary determination.
