AK HR5

Urges Governor Dunleavy and the Department of Administration to release all copies of the statewide salary study, including all drafts produced to date

Alaska Legislature appropriated $1,000,000 in 2023 for the salary study with an expected completion date of July 2024; the state contracted with The Segal Company for $775,000 in December 2023

Four contract amendments have increased total costs to $950,000 and extended the deadline to June 30, 2025, despite a draft being completed before the original deadline

Average state job vacancy rate is 16%, with some divisions at double that rate; the last salary study was conducted in 2009

Collective bargaining monetary terms must be submitted to the Legislature by March 21, 2025 (60th day of session), making the delayed salary study unavailable for negotiations
