REVIEW OF EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION; BIENNIAL REPORT ON EMPLOYEE RECRUITMENT AND
RETENTION (§ 2.2-1202)

A. It is a goal of the Commonwealth to compensate its employees at a rate
comparable to the rate of compensation for employees in the private sector of
the Commonwealth in similar occupations, and consistently recruit and retain the
most suitably qualified employees. To achieve this goal, the Director of the
Department shall annually review (i) recruitment and retention trends, (ii) the
functions performed by each classified job role, (iii) the number of employees
and distribution of classified job roles across state agencies, and (iv) how the
salaries for each classified job role compare to salaries paid by other
employers in the Commonwealth and, as appropriate, to comparable salaries at a
regional or national level.

B. The Director of the Department shall, on or before September 1 of each
odd-numbered year, submit a report on (i) the classified job roles that should
receive higher salary increases based on identified recruitment and retention
challenges, (ii) the appropriate amount by which the salary of such classified
job roles should be increased, and (iii) cost estimates for funding any salary
increases to the Governor and the Chairmen of the House Committee on
Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations.
