<p class="MsoNormal">Good morning!<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The National Compensation Association of State Governments invites your state to participate in the 2022 NCASG Pay Structures and Practices Survey. NCASG is a national organization composed of state government human resources professionals
and serves as a forum for states to exchange information, professional expertise and knowledge related to state government employees. For more information on the NCASG, you may visit
<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/0rNzCADlX1SEnL0GuGM6v0?domain=ncasg.org">http://www.ncasg.org</a> to check out our new logo and view the information about the annual conference.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">This survey is one of three surveys administered each year by the NCASG and participation is required per NCASG membership bylaws. The survey template is attached and responses are requested
to be returned by <b>August 31, 2022</b>.</span> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The NCASG Pay Structures and Practices Survey provides a wealth of information that states can use to make comparisons from year to year. Topics in this survey include information such as how each state defines its workforce, pay structures,
pay ranges, employee counts, turnover, base pay increases, variable pay practices, promotions, overtime, how employees move through their respective pay ranges, strategies for setting pay, compensation initiatives and so much more!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Last year, 31 states from all over the U.S. participated in the survey. Last year’s participants include:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a participant, your state will receive a copy of the results at no charge - a $500 value! Participants also receive the benefit of receiving a pre-filled 2023 survey, which saves time on completing the survey next year. States that participated
in the 2021 NCASG Pay Structures and Practices Survey will receive their pre-filled survey template in a separate email. If your state participated last year and you do not receive a pre-filled survey by COB today, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Should you have any questions on the attached template or if more time is needed, you may reach out to me directly. My contact information is also provided on Table 19 in the attached survey template. Any feedback on the survey contents,
format, etc. may be provided on this table as well. Don’t forget to save the date for the annual conference that will be in Deadwood, South Dakota from October 9<sup>th</sup> – 12<sup>th</sup>!
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also, please note that the other two annual NCASG surveys will be coming soon from separate survey administrators:<o:p></o:p></p>
