 12  8    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That there shall be four
 12  9 classes of appointments as employees of the general
 12 10 assembly:
 12 11    A "permanent full-time" or "permanent part-time"
 12 12 employee is one who is employed the year around and
 12 13 eligible to receive state benefits.
 12 14    An "exempt full-time" employee is one who is
 12 15 employed for the period of the sessions with
 12 16 extensions post-session and pre-session as scheduled.
 12 17 This class is eligible to receive state benefits with

 12 21 for only a portion of the year, usually the
 12 22 legislative session.  This class is not eligible for
 12 23 state benefits, except IPERS, and insurance as
 12 24 provided in section 2.40.
 12 25    A "part-time" employee is one who is employed to

 12 27 eligible for state benefits, except IPERS if eligible.
 12 28    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That the exact
 12 29 classification for individuals in a job series created
 12 30 by this resolution shall be set or changed for senate
 13  1 employees by the senate rules and administration
 13  2 committee and for the house employees by the house
 13  3 administration and rules committee.  The committees
 13  4 shall base the classification upon the following
 13  5 factors:
 13  6    1.  The extent of formal education required of the
 13  7 position; and,
 13  8    2.  The extent of the responsibilities to be
 13  9 assigned to the position; and,
 13 10    3.  The amount of supervision placed over the
 13 11 position; and,
 13 12    4.  The number of persons the position is assigned
 13 13 to supervise and skill and responsibilities of those
 13 14 positions supervised.
 13 15    The committees shall report the exact
 13 16 classifications assigned to each individual on the
 13 17 next legislative day, or, if such action is during the
 13 18 interim, on the first day the senate or house shall
 13 19 convene.  Any action by the senate or house to
 13 20 disapprove a report or a portion of a report shall be
 13 21 effective the day after the action.
 13 22    Recommendations for a pay grade for a new position
 13 23 shall be developed in accordance with the factor
 13 24 scores in the comparable worth report.  Beginning in
 13 25 1999, every four years the senate rules and
 13 26 administration committee, the house administration and
 13 27 rules committee, and the legislative council shall
 13 28 review all positions in the legislative branch to
 13 29 assure conformity to comparable worth.

 14  3 such person, possesses the necessary skills to perform
 14  4 the duties such senator or representative shall
 14  5 designate, under the administrative direction, as
 14  6 appropriate, of the secretary of the senate or the
 14  7 chief clerk of the house.

 18 17 Exceptionally meritorious service pay increases shall
 18 18 be governed by the following:

 19  5 and rules committee shall both hire officers and

 19 10 specified in this resolution or the filling of any
 19 11 vacancies on the next legislative day or, if such
 19 12 action is during the interim, on the first day the
 19 13 senate or house shall convene.  Any action by the
 19 14 senate or house to amend or disapprove a report or a
 19 15 portion of a report shall be effective the day after
 19 16 the action.
 19 17    The chief clerk of the house shall submit to the
 19 18 house committee on administration and rules and the

 19 25 Each respective committee shall approve or amend the
 19 26 list of recommended classifications and pay steps and
 19 27 publish said list in the journal.

 20  9 and administration committee for senate employees or
 20 10 the house administration and rules committee for house
