[Matt Puckett]

Here's the most recent pay raise language with bill numbers and page numbers.

The Senate proposes an across the board three-percent pay raise for all state employees:

(1) EMPLOYEE AND OFFICER COMPENSATION
(a) CAREER SERVICE AND EMPLOYEES SUBJECT TO CAREER SERVICE
Funds are provided in Specific Appropriation 1950A for pay increases for all eligible employees represented by: (1) the Florida Police Benevolent Association, (2) the Teamsters Local Union No. 2011, (3) the Florida Nurses Association, (4) the American Federation of State County, and Municipal Employees, Council 79, and (5) the Florida State Fire Service Association, as well as all other eligible Career Service employees not included in a represented collective bargaining unit. Funds are to be distributed as follows:
Effective July 1, 2013, for all eligible unit and non-unit Career Service employees, funds are provided to grant a competitive pay adjustment of 3.0 percent on each employee’s June 30, 2013, base rate of pay. (SB 1500, page 362)

The Senate also proposes an extra “special” pay for all law enforcement officers in the Law Enforcement, Florida Highway Patrol, and the Special Agents bargaining units in the units:

(2) SPECIAL PAY ISSUES:

(a) For purposes of this subsection (2), "law enforcement employee" means: (1) each eligible unit employee in the law enforcement collective bargaining unit, special agent collective bargaining unit and Florida Highway Patrol collective bargaining unit; (2) each eligible non-unit employee who is a sworn law enforcement officer and is in the command staff for those unit employees; and, (3) each eligible employee of the Fish and Wildlife Commission, Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and Department of Law Enforcement employed in class code 8407 (Regional Duty Officer), 8410 (Duty Officer) and 8411 (Duty Officer Supervisor).

(b) Effective July 1, 2013, in addition to the adjustment required pursuant to subsection (1) and from funds in Specific Appropriation 1950A: 1. Each law enforcement employee with less than 5 years of state service as a law enforcement employee shall receive a special competitive pay adjustment of 3.0 percent on each employee’s June 30, 2013 base rate of pay.
2. Each law enforcement employee with 5 or more years of state service as a law enforcement employee shall receive a special competitive pay adjustment of 5.0 percent on each employee’s June 30, 2013, base rate of pay. (SB 1500, pages 363 - 364)

The House proposes a $1,000 across the board pay raise for all state employees and an extra $400 merit pay increase:

Pay Grade and Pay Band Adjustments
It is the intent of the Legislature that, effective November 1, 2013, the maximum for each pay grade and pay band shall be increased by $1,000, consistent with the salary increase provided in this act. In addition, the intent is for all eligible employees to receive the increase, even if they exceed the cap. (HB 5001, page 364)

(2) SPECIAL PAY ISSUES
(b) Funds are provided in Specific Appropriation 1950A to allow each agency head, including the Supreme Court Justice, to provide discretionary one-time lump sum bonuses of $400 to eligible permanent employees in order to recruit, retain and reward quality personnel as provided in s. 110.1245(2), F.S. No bonus shall be paid prior to June 1, 2014. (HB 5001, page 365)

The House also proposes an extra 3 percent “special” pay increase for all law enforcement officers in the Law Enforcement, Florida Highway Patrol, and the Special Agents bargaining units:

(2) SPECIAL PAY ISSUES
(a) Effective July 1, 2013, from the funds in Specific Appropriation 1950A, $1,302,827 from the General Revenue Fund and $8,351,498 from trust funds are provided to fund competitive pay adjustments of 3 percent on the employee’s June 30, 2013 base rate of pay, to unit and non-unit employees of the Law Enforcement, Florida Highway Patrol, and Special Agent bargaining units. (HB 5001, page 365)

The house and senate agreed to the following raise:
Employees earning less than $40k will receive a $1,400 increase.
Employees earning more will receive a $1,000 increase.
$600 in bonuses available.

PLUS

State Law Enforcement Officers, FHP, and FDLE with less than 5 years of service will receive an additional 3%. Officers with 5 years or more will receive an additional 5%.

The figure I saw said an officer with over five years would get an additional 2 percent over the three percent for a total of 5 percent ( Plus the 1000 or 1400 bucks).

They are crybabying on the Corrections site. Teamsters is blaming the PBA for their failure to do anything for Corrections. That sure sounds familiar for some reason. Anybody ever heard of IUPA?

Correct. Officers with five years or more get an additional 5% on top of the across the board.

Is the effective date July 1 ?

Is the effective date July 1 ?

July 1st for compression raises and Oct 1st for lump sums.

Yes. I'm so glad I didn't take that fed job now. I wouldn't have gotten this $600 raise. Thanks Republicans. you really take care of us

Thanks for the hard work PBA, it is nice to finally start moving the right direction, even if it is a tiny tiny tiny baby step there.

Thanks for keeping us posted Matt.

you know this means we will not get another raise for at least 3 years now.
