Currently, with one exception, the director of the office of state employment relations in DOA, with the approval of the Joint Committee on Employment Relations, assigns division administrator positions to executive salary groups. This bill assigns the administrator of any division in DOA having responsibility for information technology management to executive salary group 7. The bill also authorizes one additional unclassified division administrator position in DWD and one additional unclassified division administrator position in the Wisconsin Employment Relations Commission.

The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:

Section 1. 20.923 (4) (intro.) of the statutes is amended to read:

20.923 (4) State agency positions. (intro.) State agency heads, the administrator of the division of merit recruitment and selection in the office of state employment relations and commission chairpersons and members shall be identified and limited in number in accordance with the standardized nomenclature contained in this subsection, and shall be assigned to the executive salary groups listed in pars. (a) to (h). Except for positions specified in par. pars. (c) 3m. and (g) 1e. and sub. (12), all unclassified division administrator positions enumerated under s. 230.08 (2) (e) shall be assigned, when approved by the joint committee on employment relations, by the director of the office of state employment relations to one of 10 executive salary groups. The joint committee on employment relations, by majority vote of the full committee, may amend recommendations for initial position assignments and changes in assignments to the executive salary groups submitted by the director of the office of state employment relations. All division administrator assignments and amendments to assignments of administrator positions approved by the committee shall become part of the compensation plan. Whenever a new unclassified division administrator position is created, the appointing authority may set the salary for the position until the joint committee on employment relations approves assignment of the position to an executive salary group. If the committee approves assignment of the position to an executive salary group having a salary range minimum or maximum inconsistent with the salary paid to the incumbent at the time of such approval, the incumbent's salary shall be adjusted by the appointing authority to conform with the committee's action, effective on the date of that action. Positions are assigned as follows:
