Bill > HB3390

This bill proposes to amend the existing law governing compensation for employees within the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation by adding a provision that specifically provides a 15% wage increase for non-uniformed workers. The bill maintains the existing language about employee compensation, which requires that salaries be commensurate with duties and responsibilities, and preserves existing provisions about meal and expense reimbursements. The new subsection (b) explicitly mandates the 15% wage raise for non-uniformed staff, which appears to be a direct response to recognizing the important work of these employees who support the corrections system but are not in uniformed roles. By targeting non-uniformed workers specifically, the bill aims to provide a meaningful pay increase to staff who may have been previously overlooked, potentially improving morale and retention within the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
