[NCASG] DELAWARE Response Game Wardens

Fri Aug 5 08:12:01 MDT 2022

Good morning,
Delaware recently reclassified all our Delaware Natural Resources and Environmental Control Enforcement Officers to Natural Resource Police Officers.  This had no affect on pay grade or pay AND they have a Union negotiated pay scale with step increases.  HOWEVER, through Delaware’s FY 23 budget epilogue we opened the possibility of positions, not otherwise covered under Delaware Code, to receive Hazardous Duty Pay based on 3 levels as follows:
              Level B $1,100/year
              Level A $2,300/year
              Level A1 $4,620/year
Under Delaware Code, T29, § 5916. Uniform pay plan; hazardous duty pay. (e) restricts Hazardous Duty Pay to employees otherwise qualified, employed by the Department of Correction (or its successor agency), the Delaware Psychiatric Center and who are assigned to programs for the criminally insane, the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (or its successor agency), Casual seasonal employees performing the same job duties as those eligible employees identified above deemed eligible and Employees employed in the Prison Education Program as authorized in Chapter 24 of Title 14 whose primary job location is within the institutions.
((f) Nothing in this section shall be construed or interpreted by the Merit Employee Relations Board or by the Secretary to include hazardous duty pay as coming within the definition of fringe benefits)
Current Budget Epilogue
Section 30. Notwithstanding 29 Del. C. § 5916, Tthe Secretary of the Department of Human Resources shall have the authority to review and recommend which employee classifications are eligible to receive hazardous duty levels, including A-1 supplemental compensation. Employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement who have negotiated to have the hazardous duty levels, including A-1, supplement added into their base salary rate shall not be eligible for this supplement. Any recommendations for hazardous duty level A-1 supplemental compensation must be approved by the Director of Office of Management and Budget and 1Controller General. Any supplemental compensation approved under this section shall be effective the first day of the full pay period following approval.

The Natural Resource Police Officers are being recommended to receive Hazardous Duty Pay Level A1. (Trainees are not eligible until they have successfully graduated from COPT (Council On Police Training)  training provide by an approved academy).

Good morning,

Wyoming is experiencing some issues with our Game Wardens.

1. Can you share your list of classifications, pay ranges, and FLSA status of Game Wardens?
2. Is there a special pay program for this group or something else they may be eligible for?

Thank you for your assistance!

Meghan
