Okla. Stat. tit. 74 § 840-2.15B
The state employee compensation program is designed to attract, retain and reward quality employees with competitive total compensation based on relevant labor markets. The compensation program will establish pay structures with a goal of working toward the recommendations of the 2013 State Employee Total Remuneration Study. The compensation program will reinforce a productive work climate and culture of accountability and make the State of Oklahoma an employer of choice. Pay structures will be implemented with fairness and equity. Pay delivery mechanisms will be based on a combination of the achievement of performance objectives, recognition of differences in job content, acquisition and application of further skill and education. The Legislature will be accountable for the funding of the pay structures established pursuant to the compensation program.
