§18B-9-5. Classified employee salary.
(a) Each classified employee who is employed by a governing
board on the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred eighty-
nine, shall receive for the same employment at the same pay grade
during the fiscal year commencing on such date and thereafter, a
monthly salary which is at least equal to the final monthly
salary paid such classified employee for the fiscal year
commencing on the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred
eighty-eight, to be paid in equal installments within the regular
pay periods.
(b) Commencing with the fiscal year beginning on the first
day of July, one thousand nine hundred eighty-nine ninety-three,
and each fiscal year thereafter, each classified employee with
three or more years of experience shall receive an annual salary
increase equal to thirty-six dollars times the employee's years
of experience, less any incremental salary increase granted in a
prior fiscal year and actually incorporated into and becoming an
integral part of base salary prior to fiscal year one thousand
nine hundred ninety: Provided, That such annual salary increase
shall not exceed the amount granted for the maximum of twenty
thirty years of experience. These incremental increases shall be
in lieu of any salary increase received pursuant to section two,
article five, chapter five of this code; shall be in addition to
any across-the-board, cost-of-living or percentage salary
increases which may be granted in any fiscal year by the
Legislature; and shall be paid in equal installments within the
regular pay periods.
(c) Each classified employee whose monthly salary under
subsections (a) and (b) of this section is less than the minimum
monthly salary for zero years of experience for the appropriate
pay grade as set forth in section three of this article shall
receive additional compensation such that the monthly salary is
at least the minimum amount prescribed for the appropriate pay
grade at zero years of experience: Provided, That such amounts
may be reduced proportionately based upon the amount of funds
available for such purpose.
(d) Any funds remaining after increasing the monthly salary
of each classified employee to at least the minimum amount
prescribed for the appropriate pay grade at zero years of
experience shall be used to place classified employees on the
salary schedule at their appropriate years of experience:
Provided, That such amount may be reduced proportionately based
upon the amount of funds available for such purpose.
(e) Any classified employee may receive merit increases
and/or salary adjustments in accordance with policies established
by the board: Provided, That funds for such increases and/or
adjustments shall be distributed in accordance with rules of the
appropriate governing board and shall be available to all state
institutions of higher education on an equitable basis.
(f) The current monthly salary of any classified employee
may not be reduced by the provisions of this article nor by any
other action inconsistent with the provisions of this article,
and nothing in this article shall be construed to prohibitpromotion of any classified employee to a job title carrying a
higher pay grade if such promotion is in accordance with the
provisions of this article and the personnel classification
system established by the appropriate governing board.
(g) Effective the first day of January, one thousand nine
hundred ninety, an amount equal to five percent of one half the
amount appropriated and distributed in the fiscal year beginning

for salaries for full-time classified employees shall be
distributed in the following manner: Such amount as may be
necessary shall be distributed to each classified employee who is
employed on the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred
ninety, so that each such employee shall receive for the same
employment at the same pay grade a monthly salary which is at
least equal to the final monthly salary paid such classified
employee for the last month of such employee's employment
during the fiscal year one thousand nine hundred eighty-
eight--eighty-nine, and a salary increase equal to two and
one-half percent of such final monthly salary. Any remaining
funds shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this
section.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to maintain the payment
of minimum salary to higher education classified employees
