4 7 In this schedule, each numbered block shall be the

4 9 the number heading the block. Within each grade there
4 10 shall be seven steps numbered "1" through "7". In the
4 11 above schedule the steps for all grades are determined
4 12 in the following manner. Each numbered block is
4 13 counted as the "1" step for that grade. The next
4 14 higher block is counted as the "2" step; the next
4 15 higher block is the "3" step; the next higher block is
4 16 the "4" step; the next higher block is the "5" step;
4 17 the next higher block is the "6" step; and the next
4 18 higher block is the "7" step.
4 19 Alternatively, the senate rules and administration
4 20 committee for senate employees, and the house
4 21 administration and rules committee for house employees
4 22 may allow their employees' compensation to be flexibly
4 23 set anywhere between steps "1" through "7" for an
4 24 employee's prescribed pay grade.
4 25 All employees shall be available to work daily
4 26 until completion of the senate's and house of
4 27 representatives' business. The employee's division

4 30 hours.
5 1 All employees, other than those designated "part=
5 2 time", shall be compensated for 40 hours of work in a
5 3 one=week pay period. Secretaries to senators and
5 4 representatives are presumed to have 40 hours of work
5 5 each week the legislature is in session and shall be
5 6 paid only on that basis. Full=time employees who are
5 7 required to work in excess of 80 hours in a two=week
5 8 pay period shall be allowed compensatory time off at a
5 9 rate of one hour for each hour of overtime up to a
5 10 maximum of 120 hours of compensatory time. Joint
5 11 security employees of the senate and house of

5 13 overtime at a rate of pay equal to one=and=one=half
5 14 times the hourly pay provided.
5 15 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That part=time employees
5 16 shall be compensated at the scheduled hourly rate for
5 17 their pay grade and step.
5 18 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That in the event the
5 19 salary schedule for employees of the State of Iowa as

5 21 services pursuant to section 8A.413, subsection 2, is
5 22 revised upward at any time during the eighty=second
5 23 eighty=third general assembly, such revised schedule
5 24 shall simultaneously be adopted for the compensation
5 25 of the employees of the eighty=second eighty=third
5 26 general assembly assigned a grade by this resolution,
5 27 unless otherwise provided by the senate and house of
5 28 representatives.
5 29 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That adjustments in the
5 30 positions and compensation listed in this resolution
6 1 may be made through an interim review of all
6 2 legislative employees for internal equity and to
6 3 assure compliance with appropriate legal standards for
6 4 granting of overtime and compensatory time off. Such
6 5 review shall be conducted by a legislative committee
6 6 made up of members of the service committee of
6 7 legislative council and the appropriate salary
6 8 subcommittees of the senate and house. Only one such
