Official statutory text
It is hereby declared to be the public policy of the state to attempt to achieve an equitable relationship between the comparability of the value of work performed by persons in state service and the compensation and classification plans within the state system. To further this end, a bias-free job evaluation system needs to be developed for all jobs in state service, across job families to rank jobs in order, to set salaries, and to create career ladders for advancement according to the value of the work performed.
It is the intent of the Legislature that the provisions of Section 8248 shall not be self-executing and that the findings of the commission shall not be implemented unless further legislation specifically authorizes that these findings be implemented in whole or in part.
