The Commission intends to rescind the pay grids approved at the June 6, 2007 meeting.  These grids reflected improved minimums to all pay schedules; however, due to the mechanics of implementing the improved maximums found herein, a new grid reflecting improved minimums and maximums must be adopted.  These pay grids can be found in Exhibit I and Exhibit I1 below.

EXHIBIT A: Jobs Added to the Pay Plan Since the December 13, 2006 Pay Hearing

THE CHANGES TO THE PAY PLAN NOTED IN EXHIBITS D AND E BELOW HAVE BEEN GIVEN INTERIM APPROVAL BY THE CIVIL SERVICE DIRECTOR AND ARE CURRENTLY IN EFFECT:

 

EXHIBIT D: Jobs Abolished from the Pay Plan Since the December 13, 2006 Pay Hearing

 

            None.

EXHIBIT E: Job Minimum Qualification Changes Since the December 13, 2006 Pay Hearing

 

            None..

 

THE CHANGES TO THE PAY PLAN NOTED IN EXHIBIT I BELOW HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN INTERIM APPROVAL BY THE CIVIL SERVICE DIRECTOR.  THESE CHANGES WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNLESS ADOPTED BY THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION AND APPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR.  IF ADOPTED BY THE COMMISSION AND APPROVED BY THE GOVERNOR, THE GOVERNOR WILL SET THE EFFECTIVE DATE. 

EXHIBIT F: Job Title Changes Proposed to the Pay Plan Since the December 13, 2006 Pay Hearing

            In addition to the proposed raise to the maximums (Exhibit I) of the AS, MS, TS, WS, and SS schedules by 10% and the PS schedule by 14% to be effective June 30, 2007, we are proposing an increase to the minimums (Exhibit I1) of all six pay schedules to be effective July 2, 2007.  Both grids are attached. 

 

A supplement adding/changing items in this exhibit may be issued at the Commission Hearing. 

 

Please review this proposal and furnish us any comments that you consider pertinent by close of business July 17, 2007.  If you would like to appear before the Commission to present your comments orally, you are invited to do so and are requested to notify the Department of Civil Service of such intentions in advance of the meeting.  Please direct your comments to Marianne Covington or Glenn Balentine at 225-342-8083 or email at marianne.covington@la.gov or glenn.Balentine@la.gov.
