| relating to a salary career ladder for certain state employees. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 659, Government Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Section 659.0111 to read as follows: | ||
| Sec. 659.0111. SALARY CAREER LADDER FOR CERTAIN STATE | ||
| EMPLOYEES. (a) This section applies only to a state employee who | ||
| is employed by a state agency in a position classified under Chapter | ||
| 654 and whose annual salary is less than $75,000. | ||
| (b) The executive director or governing body of a state | ||
| agency shall adopt a salary career ladder for agency employees | ||
| described by Subsection (a). The salary career ladder must base a | ||
| state employee's salary on the employee's designated classification | ||
| in the position classification plan under Chapter 654 and years of | ||
| service with the agency. | ||
| (c) A state employee to whom the salary career ladder | ||
| applies is entitled to an annual salary increase during each of the | ||
| employee's first 10 years of service in a designated classification | ||
| in the position classification plan under Chapter 654 if the | ||
| employee receives an overall evaluation of at least satisfactory in | ||
| the employee's most recent annual evaluation. The salary increase | ||
| must be equal to one-tenth of the difference between: | ||
| (1) the minimum annual salary of a state employee in | ||
| the employee's current classification; and | ||
| (2) the minimum annual salary of a state employee in | ||
| the next highest classification. | ||
| SECTION 2. As soon as practicable after the effective date | ||
| of this Act, but not later than October 1, 2021, the executive | ||
| director or governing body of each state agency subject to Section | ||
| 659.0111, Government Code, as added by this Act, shall adopt a | ||
| salary career ladder for state employees as required by that | ||
| section. Beginning the first day of the month following the date on | ||
| which the executive director or governing body adopts the salary | ||
| career ladder, each state employee to whom the salary career ladder | ||
| applies and who receives an overall evaluation of at least | ||
| satisfactory in the employee's most recent annual evaluation is | ||
| entitled to a salary in an amount that meets or exceeds the amount | ||
| determined according to the salary career ladder for the employee's | ||
| classification and years of service with the agency. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2021. | ||
