Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to provide employees working for the Division of Highways with locality pay for working in a jurisdiction designated by the commissioner as one where locality pay is necessary to maintain the division's ability to recruit and retain employees.
AI Summary
This bill allows the commissioner of highways to authorize extra pay, called a "locality pay differential," for employees of the Division of Highways (DOH) who work in areas where it's difficult to hire and keep staff. This extra pay, which can go up to $10,000 per year on top of their regular salary, is intended to make DOH jobs more competitive in those specific locations. The commissioner will also need to create and get approval for rules to implement this new pay system.
