<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0070C0">Hi John,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0070C0"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#0070C0">Idaho’s information is as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 1: What general wage increase(s) will the majority of your state employees receive in the current fiscal year?
<span style="color:#0070C0">A 3% budget increase was approved by the Governor and Legislature prior to pandemic for FY2022. The 3% was in the form of: 2% merit and an additional 2% ATB increase for incumbents in 20 target positions. However, as of 04/10/20,
all pay increases were suspended until further notice pending a re-evaluation of our state's revenue collection and economy. A 3% salary structure increase was implemented effective July 2, 2020. This adjustment required the movement of roughly 300 employees
statewide (1% of our total workforce) to the new minimum of their pay grade. <o:p>
</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Question 2: What general wage increase(s) did the majority of your state employees receive in the previous fiscal year?
<span style="color:#0070C0">In FY 2021, state budgets were increased by 3% for employee compensation. The 3% was in the form of: 2% merit-based and a one-time annual ATB increase of $550 for all permanent employees.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you and have a great evening!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is just to get at the dominant theme for pay increases. If you provide variable merit increases, for example, what is/was the budgeted average increase? If you have labor unions, what is/was the most typical widespread increase amount?<o:p></o:p></p>
