Clothing Allowance Effective January 1, 1999

OSC will automatically apply the salary increase, premium overtime, clothing allowance and maintenance allowance increase to all active employees in the above negotiating unit. No listings will be produced of employees who receive the raise automatically.

The raise row will be inserted in the employee’s record after the agency cut off date for Period 20C/20L.

During the raise period, any transactions that need to be entered through the Job Data panels with an effective date prior to January 7, 1999, must be entered by OSC. Contact the Salary Determination Unit.

For Position or Salary transactions where the effective date of the transaction is the same as the raise effective date (1/7/99), check the employees Job Record. If there is a row already existing for that employee with a 1/7/99 date, the agency must sequence the transaction to the next effective sequence number and submit a salary that includes the new salary on the Job Action Request panel.

Questions concerning this increase should be directed to the Salary Determination Unit at (518) 486-3088.
