Relating to locality pay to certain DOH employees
SB 106 authorizes the West Virginia Commissioner of Highways to provide additional locality pay to employees working in specific jurisdictions where such pay is needed to recruit and retain staff. The bill allows this extra pay - up to $10,000 annually - to exceed standard salary ranges for those positions. The commissioner must propose rules for legislative approval to implement this policy. This directly affects Division of Highways employees in designated areas, aiming to improve workforce stability through localized pay adjustments.
