Kansas House subcommittee endorses reclassification plan that Hayden wants postponed
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Members of a House subcommittee on Monday tentatively endorsed continuing a salary reclassification plan for state employees that Gov. Mike Hayden has recommended postponing.
However, the subcommittee was scheduled to meet again yesterday or today to reconsider the proposal before making a recommendation to the House Appropriations Committee, said State Rep. Rochelle Chronister, R-Neodesha, the subcommittee chairman.
In his budget for the next fiscal year, Hayden recommended a 4 per cent cost-of-living salary increase for all state classified employees instead of implementation of the reclassification plan.
However, representatives of state workers have said that it was not fair for the state to postpone the salary
changes. Most of the controversy has centered around state institution workers who contend that they must undergo more training than state employees such as prison guards but are paid far less.
Chronister said that the subcommittee proposed implementing the plan beginning the last three months of fiscal year 1989. It would be paid for with money from a longtime dayben has a longtime plan for longtime state employees.
The state has already completed the first two phases of the six-part plan to examine the salaries of all state classified employees.
Phase III, which originally was scheduled to begin next year, would affect about 7,400 employees who work as corrections and law enforcement officers, custodial and food service workers, and direct-care workers in state institutions for the mentally retarded and mentally ill
