HB 24-1467

House Bill 24-1467, which has been approved and is now in effect, changes how state employees are paid. Instead of giving raises based on performance (merit pay), it sets up a system where all employees get regular salary increases at set intervals. This new rule doesn’t apply to employees working for the office of the state auditor. Additionally, the bill removes the requirement that certain workers in the Department of Labor and Employment must be paid monthly, allowing more flexibility in their payment schedules.

The act also repeals the requirement that employees of the division of worker's compensation and the division of labor standards and statistics in the department of labor and employment be paid on a monthly basis.
