Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

(a) The administrator of the division of
human resources shall determine the relative worth of each job classification
established pursuant to section 67-5309, Idaho Code, and, in making such
determination, shall utilize the guide chart profile method and correlated
factoring benchmark job classifications developed by Hay management
consultants, to ensure internal equity within the classified service.
(b) Job classifications established or revised by the administrator shall
be assigned by the administrator to a pay grade subject to the approval of the
administrator of the division of financial management, based on funding
considerations.
(c) The administrator shall conduct or approve salary and benefit surveys
within relevant labor markets to determine salary ranges that represent
competitive labor market average rates paid by private industry and other
governmental units for jobs of like value, based upon the guide chart profile
system described in subsection (a) of this section. The results of such
surveys shall be based on statistical, historical, or other economic factors.
The factors herein referred to shall include, but are not limited to,
anticipated salary adjustments for the positions surveyed, changes in
cost-of-living as measured by the consumer price index, and anticipated
adjustments in the average weekly wage in the state of Idaho, as defined and
determined pursuant to section 72-409, Idaho Code.
(d) A report of the results of salary and benefit surveys and
recommendations for changes in salaries, together with their estimated costs
of implementation based on the competitive labor market average rate of each
pay grade, as approved by the administrator, shall be submitted to the
governor not later than the first day of December of each year. The governor
shall submit his own recommendations on proposed changes in salaries and
benefits to the legislature prior to the seventh legislative day of each
session. The legislature may, by concurrent resolution, accept, modify or
reject the recommendations. The failure of the legislature to accept, modify
or reject the recommendations prior to adjournment sine die shall constitute
approval of the governor's recommendations. The administrator shall implement
the results of such salary changes by rule, using the payline formulas and pay
schedules approved by the legislature and the mid-point of each pay grade
established in section 67-5309C, Idaho Code.
