SCS RULE 6.2 PREPARATION OF PAY PLAN The Director conducts a review of the six pay schedules at least annually and makes recommendations regarding any necessary changes to the SCS Commission for its approval resulting in a uniform pay plan. Before submitting the plan, the Director consults with appointing authorities and the state fiscal officer while also conducting necessary research. SCS RULE 6.3 ADOPTION OF PAY PLAN This rule requires that any changes recommended by the Director impacting the structure of the pay plan are to be submitted to the SCS Commission for consideration at a public hearing. Notice of the public hearing must comply with SCS Rule 2.5 . Upon adoption, the SCS Commission specifies the manner in which the pay plan is to be implemented. When the SCS Commission adopts a pay plan or amendment to the plan, it can only become effective after approval in its entirety by the Governor. If the Governor rejects any portion of the plan sent by the SCS Commission, the plan is not approved. The SCS pay structures are also known as the “pay schedules.” There are six pay schedules within the SCS Pay Plan. Each pay schedule contains jobs that have similar occupational characteristics.

SCS RULE 6.3.1 OTHER COMPENSATION The purpose of this rule is to provide for the regulation of all monetary payments to classified employees, such as cell phone allowances, uniform allowances, housing allowances, food allowances, and other similar allowances. This rule is also used when an appointing authority would like to provide compensation not specifically covered by either Chapter 6 or by the classification and pay plan. An appointing authority will need to establish a policy with the approval of the SCS Commission to make payments under this rule. SCS RULE 6.4 RATES OF PAY IN THE PAY PLAN This rule provides for each job having a range minimum and range maximum. Each employee shall be paid at a rate within the range for the grade assigned to his/her position. 3 Compensation Administration Guide
