The Director shall administer and maintain the pay plan subject to such approvals by the Board as are required by law or these rules after consulting with State fiscal officers. The Director shall determine the assignment of classes to salary ranges in the salary schedule in consideration of prevailing rates of pay in outside private and public employment for comparable work, recruiting and turnover experience, the relative value and importance of classes in the state service, the maintenance and benefits received by state employees, the state's financial condition and economic policies, and other relevant factors. The Director may from time to time recommend across-the-board percentage adjustment of the rates in the salary schedule in consideration of significant changes in overall prevailing rates of pay and the cost of living. The Director shall make or cause to be made appropriate surveys of prevailing rates and benefit practices in the Alabama and other pertinent labor markets. The Director shall recommend any amendment to the pay plan that will correct inequities or bring about improvements in salary administration either on his own initiative or at the direction of the Board or the Governor, or upon request of an appointing authority.
