	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Nielsen

                        FEBRUARY 22, 2013

   An act to add Section 18006 to the Government Code, relating to
public employment.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 778, as introduced, Nielsen. Public employment: salary ranges.
   Existing law establishes the Department of Human Resources for
purposes of managing the nonmerit aspects of the state's personnel
system. Existing law requieres the department to establish and adjust
salary ranges for each class of position in the state civil service,
subject to specified merit limits and except as specified. Existing
law requires the salary range to be based on the principle that like
salaries shall be paid for comparable duties and responsibilities.
   This bill would require the department to address salary
compaction and parity concerns. The bill would also require the
department, when it is determined that revenues do not allow the
department to implement a salary determination to increase any
excluded and exempt employee salaries in a given year, to provide to
the Legislature existing data on the salary determination, including
all salary compaction and parity determinations for supervisory and
managerial employees.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 18006 is added to the Government Code, to read:

   18006.  (a) In determining salaries for supervisory and managerial
employees, the Department of Human Resources shall address salary
compaction and parity concerns.
   (b) When it is determined that revenues do not allow the
department to implement a salary determination to increase any
excluded and exempt employee salaries in a given year, the department
shall provide to the Legislature existing data on the salary
determination, including all salary compaction and parity
determinations for supervisory and managerial employees.
