[NCASG] Starting pay question

[Mays, Wendy A]

Good morning from West Virginia,

Does the agency make the decision regarding starting salary?
Does your agency (the statewide HR Department) review?
If so, can your agency reject the offer?  On what basis?

In WV an agency decides the starting salary.  However, the agency is required to start at the minimum of the pay range and can give 5% for every 6 months of additional experience up to 35%.  That is reviewed and the employee's application is reviewed a second time by the DOP's transactions unit.  This is an active thorough review and not just a review that signs off.

Let me know if you have any questions.  If you could have your response to me by Tuesday morning, I'd appreciate it.  Obviously, we do not have collective bargaining in my state.

Thank you guys for everything.
