A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding thereto a new section, designated §18A-4-1b, relating to increasing pay to school service personnel over five years.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §18A-4-1b, to read as follows:
ARTICLE 4. SALARIES, WAGES AND OTHER BENEFITS.
§18A-4-1b. Graduated salary increase for service personnel beginning in 2016.
The Legislature finds that it is in the best interest of the state to pay employees a competitive salary. Therefore, the following adjustments to the state minimum salaries for service employees shall be made:
(1) Beginning July 1, 2016, the minimum monthly pay for each service employee shall be in accordance with section eight-a of this article, plus an additional $50.
(2) Beginning July 1, 2017, the minimum monthly pay for each service employee shall be in accordance with section eight-a of this article, plus an additional $100.
(3) Beginning July 1, 2018, the minimum monthly pay for each service employee shall be in accordance with section eight-a of this article, plus an additional $150.
(4) Beginning July 1, 2019, the minimum monthly pay for each service employee shall be in accordance with section eight-a of this article, plus an additional $200.
(5) Beginning July 1, 2020, and continuing thereafter, the minimum monthly pay for each service employee shall be in accordance with section eight-a of this article, plus an additional $250.
NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to increase pay to school service personnel on a graduated basis over the next five years, so that the total pay increase after five years is $250 monthly, which works out to $3,000 in annual salary.
