The general pay adjustments include personal services and employee
related expenditures for state officers and employees in accordance with the

this act.
For fiscal year 1997-1998, the joint legislative budget committee staff
shall determine and the department of administration shall allocate to each
agency or department an amount sufficient to increase the annual salary level of each employee by the lesser of $1,000 or two and one-half per cent
effective October 1, 1997. The $1,000 limit shall apply to less than full
time employees on a prorated basis.
For fiscal year 1997-1998, the joint legislative budget committee staff
shall also determine and the department of administration shall allocate to
each agency or department an amount projected to equal two and one-half per
cent of their total eligible personal services base for the period January
1, 1998 through June 30, 1998 for merit pay adjustments. An individual merit
pay adjustment shall not exceed five per cent of an employee's salary.
For fiscal year 1998-1999, the joint legislative budget committee staff
shall determine and the department of administration shall allocate to each
agency or department
The joint legislative budget committee staff shall also determine and

in total expenditure authority to allow implementation of general salary
adjustments of comparable amounts. The employees of the Arizona state
schools for the deaf and the blind, board and commission members who are paid

for the periods October 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998 and October 1, 1998
through June 30, 1999, respectively. The joint legislative budget committee
staff shall determine and the department of administration shall allocate to
each agency or department the appropriate amounts. The joint legislative
budget committee staff shall also determine and the department of
administration shall allocate adjustments, as necessary, in total expenditure
authority to allow implementation of classification salary adjustments of appropriate amounts.
On or before July 1, 1997 and February 1, 1998, respectively, the
department of administration, the board of regents, the department of public
safety, and the administrative office of the courts shall each report its
fiscal year 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 recommendations for the job
classifications to receive adjustments to the joint legislative budget
committee for its review. The recommendations shall include the rationale
for these selections, the estimated dollar amount associated with each
classification salary adjustment and information concerning the job
classifications selected including, but not limited to, turnover in the
classification, salaries for comparable positions outside state service,
vacancy rates and duration in the classification, and the availability of
applicants for vacant positions in the classification.
It is the intent of the legislature that the adjustments be made to job
classifications that are critical to the orderly conduct of state operations
and that are experiencing substantially above average turnover or have
current salary levels that are substantially below comparable positions
outside state service.
It is the intent of the legislature that an adjustment be applied to
all positions within a single job classification. If the recommendation
includes an adjustment that will not be applied to all positions within a
single job classification, these agencies shall separately list all of the
positions within the job classification, by agency or department, and the
rationale for excluding some positions from the adjustment.
On or before November 1, 1997 and November 1, 1998, respectively, these
agencies shall report to the staff director of the joint legislative budget
committee the suballocation of the adjustment amounts, by program and/or cost
center, line item and fund name. Any unallocated balance shall revert to the
fund from which it was appropriated on February 1, 1998 and February 1, 1999,
respectively, unless the joint legislative budget committee determines
additional classification salary adjustments are necessary.

staff and allocated by the department of administration for fiscal year
1997-1998 for merit pay adjustments, the sum of $4,000,000 is deposited into
the faculty teaching incentive program fund of the Arizona board of regents
and is exempt from the provisions of section 35-190, Arizona Revised Statutes, relating to lapsing of appropriations.

The teaching incentive bonuses shall be awarded at a rate between two
and five per cent of academic year base salary per semester for qualifying
faculty who teach a minimum of six credit hours in regular classes per
semester. The board of regents shall design the salary awards based on the
above criteria.
At the college of medicine of the university of Arizona, faculty
teaching effort in regular classes and clinical training may be counted
toward the teaching load requirement needed to qualify for bonuses, with the
total amount of all awards not to exceed $250,000 per semester.
