<p class="MsoNormal">For North Dakota, we do not have any such recurring adjustments. In theory, our legislatively approved salary increases are all performance based. At times in the past we have also granted equity adjustments that have been market based
and/or based on position within the salary range. We rarely make adjustments that are directly linked to cost of living, though we have provided some supplemental pay for jobs in areas where the market has been impacted by the oil industry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That said, we may be making some recommendations for equity adjustments in our legislative session next year.<o:p></o:p></p>

less than their market rate would receive a certain increase, while those team members paid at or above market might receive a lesser increase or no increase at all.
