SECTION 8. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS - FISCAL YEAR 2023-2024
This section provides instructions for implementing the Fiscal Year
2023-2024 salary and benefits adjustments provided in this act. All
allocations, distributions, and uses of these funds are to be made in
strict accordance with the provisions of this act and chapter 216,
Florida Statutes.
Unless otherwise specified in this section, references to an "eligible"
employee refer to an employee who is, at a minimum, meeting his or her
required performance standards, if applicable. If an ineligible employee
achieves performance standards subsequent to the salary implementation
date, but on or before the end of the fiscal year, the employee may
receive the increase; however, the increase shall be effective on the
date the employee becomes eligible but not retroactively. In addition,
any salary increase or bonus provided under this section shall be
pro-rated based on the full-time equivalency of the employee's position.
Employees classified as other personal services employees are not
eligible for an increase.
It is the intent of the Legislature that the minimums and maximums for
each pay grade and pay band be adjusted upward commensurate with the
increases provided in subsection (1)(b). In addition, the Legislature
intends that all eligible employees receive the increases specified in
this section, even if the implementation of such increases results in an
employee's salary exceeding the adjusted pay grade maximum.
