Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):
The bill would result in an increase of one (1)FTE within the Division of Personnel. This position, were it classified, would likely be equivalent to a Personnel Specialist Senior which is a pay grade 14. The pay range for this position is $29,400-$54,396. We therefore, used the pay range for that position in making estimates of the costs of the new position.
Based upon the salaries of other employees with similar complexities of duty within the the Division of Personnel,in the Personnel Specialist Senior classification, the estimated salary is approximately $50,000.00.
We use 28% as the estimate of other expenses associated with salary including Social Security and Medicare Matching Employer Portion of Retirement and Employer costs of health insurance. In this instance those costs would add $14,000.00 in current expenses. We would generally expect to expend 33% of employee base pay (16,500.00) on other current expenses on an annual basis. Because the position will reside in the Division of Personnel the Director recommends that the division cover all current expenses for supplies and equipment and provide clerical and administrative support to the position, absorbing those costs from the Division's current budget.
Memorandum
The bill offers one area of vagueness: It is not clear from the legislation if funding for this position will come from general revenue or if the costs will be from the division's current budget.
There are no technical defects.
