Statutory salaries. The purpose of this section is to establish a consistent and equitable salary setting mechanism for all elected officials, appointed state agency heads, division administrators and other executive-level unclassified positions. All such positions shall be subject to the same basic salary establishment, implementation, modification, administrative control and application procedures. The salary-setting mechanism contained in this section shall be directed to establishing salaries that are determined on a comprehensive systematic basis, bear equitable relationship to each other and to the salaries of classified service subordinates, and be reviewed and established with the same frequency as those of state employes in the classified service.
20.923(1)
(1) Establishment of executive salary groups. To this end, a compensation plan consisting of 10 executive salary groups is established in schedule one of the state compensation plan for the classified service from ranges 18 through 27. No salary range established above salary range 23 may be utilized in the establishment and compensation of positions in the classified service without specific approval of the joint committee on employment relations. The dollar value of the salary range minimum and maximum for each executive salary group shall be reviewed and established in the same manner as that provided for positions in the classified service under
s. 230.12 (3). The salary-setting authority of individual boards, commissions, elective and appointive officials elsewhere provided by law is subject to and limited by this section, and the salary rate for these positions upon appointment and subsequent thereto shall be set by the appointing authority pursuant to this section, except as otherwise required by
article IV, section 26, of the constitution.
20.923(2)
(2) Constitutional officers and other elected state officials. 20.923(2)(a)(a) The annual salary for each elected state official position shall be set at the dollar value for the point of the assigned salary range for its respective executive salary group specified in this subsection in effect at the time of taking the oath of office, except as provided in
par. (b) and
s. 978.12 (1) (a). No adjustment to the salary of an official enumerated in this subsection is effective until it is authorized under
article IV, section 26, of the constitution.
20.923(2)(b)
(b) The annual salary of each state senator, representative to the assembly, justice of the supreme court, court of appeals judge and circuit judge shall be reviewed and established in the same manner as provided for positions in the classified service under
s. 230.12 (3). The salary established for the chief justice of the supreme court shall be different than the salaries established for the associate justices of the supreme court.
20.923(2)(c)
(c) The annual salary of the governor shall be set at 21.6% above the minimum of the salary range for executive salary group 10.
20.923(2)(e)

sub. (2), except that any compensation adjustments granted under
s. 230.12 shall not become effective until such time as any justice or judge takes the oath of office.
20.923(4)
(4) State agency positions. State agency heads, the administrator of the division of merit recruitment and selection in the department of employment relations, commission chairpersons and members and higher education administrative positions 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
(j). Except for positions specified in
par. (c) 3m. and
sub. (12) and
s. 230.08 (2) (e) 6m., 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 secretary of employment relations to one of the 10 executive salary groups listed in
pars. (a) to
(j). 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 secretary of 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.
