23 review all positions in the legislative branch to
24 assure conformity to comparable worth.
25 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That a senator or
26 representative may employ a secretary who in the
27 judgment of the senator or representative employing
28 such person, possesses the necessary skills to perform
29 the duties such senator or representative shall

9 and otherwise assist the committee. Such duties shall
10 be performed in accordance with standards which shall

12 clerk of the house. In making the designation,

8 subject to approval of the senate committee on rules
9 and administration or the house committee on
10 administration and rules, as appropriate, provided,
11 however, that for promotions between classes with a

17 of the chief clerk of the house upon recommendation by

21 approval of the house committee on administration and
22 rules or the senate committee on rules and
23 administration, as appropriate - either in accord
24 with a flexible pay plan approved by the senate rules
25 and administration committee or the house
26 administration and rules committee, or in accord with
27 the following schedule:
28 (1) Progression from step "1" to "2" for a newly

17 provided that the entrance is not beyond step 3. Such
18 employee who is hired above the entrance step shall be
19 mobile above that step in the same period of time as
20 other employees in that same step. An officer or
21 employee who is moved to another position may be
22 considered for partial or full credit for their
23 experience in the former position in determining the
24 step in the new grade.
25 The entry level for the position of research
26 analyst shall be Legislative Research Analyst, unless
27 extraordinary conditions justify increasing that entry
28 level; however, that entry level may not be increased
29 beyond Legislative Research Analyst I. A research

Page 19
1 and procedures as well as the Code of Iowa to be

10 supervisor on the part of the house, and upon
11 recommendation by the employee's division supervisor
12 on the part of the senate, and the approval of the
13 senate committee on rules and administration or the
14 house committee on administration and rules.
15 Exceptionally meritorious service pay increases shall
16 be governed by the following:
17 a. The employee must have served in the position
18 for at least twelve months;
19 b. Written justification, setting forth in detail
20 the nature of the exceptionally meritorious service
