4 21 In this schedule, each numbered block shall be the

4 24 shall be six seven steps numbered "1" through "6" "7".
4 25 In the above schedule the steps for all grades are
4 26 determined in the following manner. Each numbered
4 27 block is counted as the "1" step for that grade. The
4 28 next higher block is counted as the "2" step; the next
4 29 higher block is the "3" step; the next higher block is
4 30 the "4" step; the next higher block is the "5" step;
5 1 the next higher block is the "6" step; and the next

5 7 set anywhere between steps "1" through "6" "7" for an
5 8 employee's prescribed pay grade.

5 10 until completion of the senate's and house of
5 11 representatives' business. The employee's division

5 14 hours.
5 15 All employees, other than those designated "part=
5 16 time", shall be compensated for 40 hours of work in a
5 17 one=week pay period. Secretaries to senators and
5 18 representatives are presumed to have 36 hours of work
5 19 each week the legislature is in session and shall be
5 20 paid only on that basis. Full=time employees who are
5 21 required to work in excess of 80 hours in a two=week
5 22 pay period shall be allowed compensatory time off at a

6 9 for the compensation of the employees of the eightieth

6 18 increases provided by the legislative council for
6 19 agency directors.
6 20 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That adjustments in the
