[NCASG] Legislation for Reoccurring Salary Adjustments

[Forrester, Darby]

Kim - Alabama has no legislation that requires a cost of living adjustment.  Only the state legislature can grant a COLA and we usually get one every 4 years (like this year we get 4%)  I don't consider them a COLA more of a "please re-elect me increase

We are still on the step system - employees can get a 2 step or 5% increase annually based on their performance score (guess what, most everyone scores high enough to get the 2 steps) and an employee progresses through the range until they top out.  But it's not market based increases

South Dakota does now. Salary appropriations are determined each year based on revenue and affordability.

Hi all -

I sent out the following survey last week. I've received several responses and I appreciate the information I have been able to receive so far. I did want to send a follow-up question to ensure I'm not missing any responses from states who might do annual increases that are not necessarily considered cost of living adjustments.

Do any of you have legislation (other than what has been shared already) or a standard process that helps to determine market based increases each year? For example, team members making 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.

Thanks again.

Subject: Legislation for Reoccurring Salary Adjustments

Good morning -

A few years ago, the State of Missouri moved from stepped salary ranges and 850+ job classifications down to ~450 job classifications and stepless salary ranges. Following this, we have attempted to maintain our salary structures as minimum wage adjustments, cost of living increases, economic indicator data, and appropriations have fluctuated. In order to work towards a potential solution, we are asking for your state's feedback on the below item.

Does your state have any legislation in effect that requires cost of living adjustments (or similar) on a reoccurring basis? If so, could you please share the statute related to that with us?

Thanks in advance!
