AN ACT Relating to salary surveys for state marine employees; and amending RCW 47.64.220.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
Sec. 1. Section 13, chapter 15, Laws of 1983 and RCW 47.64.220 are each amended to read as follows:
Prior to
collective bargaining and with the cooperation of the department of
personnel, the marine employees' commission shall conduct a salary survey
which shall be a public document comparing wages, hours, employee benefits, and
conditions of employment of involved ferry employees with those of public
and private sector employees ((within the state and Washington)) and
state employees doing ((directly comparable)) similar work,
giving consideration to factors peculiar to the area and the classifications
involved. If similar positions cannot be identified, the survey shall make
comparisons with other public and private sector employees of similar skill
levels, using the concepts of comparable worth. In conducting the salary
survey required by this section, the commission shall make special note of
instances where extra compensation is paid for hazardous duties or other
considerations requiring extra compensation under specific circumstances. Such
extra compensation shall be noted separately from basic salary for purposes of
full disclosure and visibility.
The commission shall make such other findings of fact as the parties may request during bargaining or impasse.
