KRS 18A.037: New system of job classification and compensation.

(1) The commissioner shall develop and propose a new system of classification and

compensation to be transmitted to the Legislative Research Commission by

November 15, 1997. The system proposed by the commissioner shall be developed

using a nationally-recognized system for evaluating job requirements. The proposed

system shall determine the requirements of each job classification by using factors

such as, but not limited to, knowledge, skill, effort, responsibility, accountability,

problem solving, discretion, challenge, and working conditions, to ensure pay

equity as required by KRS Chapters 337 and 344.

(2) The commissioner shall include, as a part of the proposal, estimated funding

requirements for the implementation of the system.
