SCS RULE 6.32 MARKET ADJUSTMENTS Market Adjustments are adjustments to an individual’s base pay based upon the employee’s position into the range and relation to market. The intent of market adjustments is to provide fiscally responsible increases to employees with the intent to drive them closer to a market wage. (a) To maintain market competitiveness, employees in active status six months prior to the disbursement date, except for those serving as classified When Actually Employed (WAE) employees, shall be granted a market adjustment. (b) The amount of base pay adjustment shall be as follows: 1. If the employee’s hourly rate of pay is fixed at a point from the minimum up to the 1st quartile of his pay range, his pay shall be increased by 4%. 2. If the employee’s hourly rate of pay is fixed at a point above the 1st quartile up to the midpoint of his pay range, his pay shall be increased by 4%. 3. If the employee’s hourly rate of pay is fixed at a point above the midpoint up to the 3rd quartile of his pay range, his pay shall be increased by 3%. 4. If the employee’s hourly rate of pay is fixed at a point above the 3rd quartile up to the maximum of his pay range, his pay shall be increased by 3%.
(c) All increases herein authorized are subject to the requirement that no employee’s pay shall exceed the maximum rate of pay established for the job. (d) Any adjustment or increase which an employee receives under the provisions of other rules, unless otherwise indicated, shall not affect such employee’s ability to receive increases authorized under this rule. (e) An employee who has a current official overall Performance Evaluation of “Unsuccessful” shall not be granted any increase under the provisions of this rule. (f) For all employees on detail to special duty, the market adjustment shall be calculated based upon the authorized rate of pay in the employee’s regular position. The employee’s rate of pay while on detail shall be recalculated based on his new rate of pay in their regular position. An appointing authority may, for rational business reasons, request an exception to this rule from the SCS Commission. Compensation Administration Guide 22
