Agency Submittal: 21-2018 Suppl Agency Req Budget Period: 2017-19

Program(s) 020 030 040 050

REQUEST

The Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) requests $1,059,000 ($604,000GF-State) to adjust salaries for management and executive level positions for FY 2019. As a result of the nursing salary increases in the 2017-19 Enacted Biennial Budget, the Department has inversion and compression issues with management and executive positions in the Rehabilitation Administration (RA) – Juvenile Rehabilitation (JR), Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) – Mental Health Division (MHD), Developmental Disabilities Administration (DDA), and Aging and Long-Term Support Administration (ALTSA).

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Some supervisors and managers within DSHS are now earning less than the employees who report to them. There are already cases of key managers who supervise employees in classified positions leaving management to take higher paid positions in other areas. If the salary disparities are not corrected, this will worsen with time. Recruiting will also become more difficult as qualified candidates will be reluctant to take positions that have more responsibility and require more accountability when they can earn more money for positions with less responsibility.

PROPOSED SOLUTION DSHS has identified 51 positions that need to have an increase in order to restore the same percentage difference between the manager/executive and staff salaries as existed before the 2017-19 Enacted Biennial Budget resulted in salaries that are lower, or barely higher, than the people they supervise. The attached worksheet provides the increase in salary that is needed by position. Also included are the increased costs for OASI and Retirement that are a percentage of the salary amount.

EXPECTED RESULTS There will be less attrition from key positions in the administrations, keeping continuity of experience and talent.
