WV HB4902

Creates a new pay equity salary adjustment for all Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation employees, citing extreme difficulty with recruiting and retaining staff

Provides a 3% salary increase for full-time non-uniform administrative staff who have accumulated three or more years of continuous employment, effective July 1, 2026

Employees with less than three years of service will receive the 3% adjustment once they reach the three-year continuous employment threshold

Funding comes from general revenue appropriations to the Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation

Allows employees to exceed their pay grade maximum if the salary increase pushes them above the cap established by the Division of Personnel
