ID S1051

Requires annual salary and benefit surveys within relevant labor markets to determine competitive rates and benefit packages compared to private industry and other governmental units.

Mandates the Division of Human Resources submit a report to the Governor and Legislature by December 1 each year including total salary savings from the previous budget year and how those funds were used (reverted, employee raises, onetime stipends, or other purposes).

Requires recommendations include four minimum components: systemwide structure adjustments for market competitiveness, addressing occupational inequities, merit increase recognition, and employee benefit package changes, each with specific funding recommendations.

Gives the Governor authority to submit his own salary and benefits recommendations to the Legislature by the seventh legislative day of each session addressing the same four components.

Allows the Legislature to accept, modify, or reject the Governor's recommendations by concurrent resolution; failure to act before adjournment constitutes automatic approval and funding of the Governor's recommendations.
