  During the 1999-2001 bargaining negotiations, 12 of the 21 
  bargaining units (BUs) agreed to changes to Article 5 of 
  the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) 
  Regulations.  The proposed changes to the regulations 
  included Sections 599.666.2, 599.668.1, 599.673.1, 
  599.674.1, 599.675.1, 599.676.1, 599.677.1, 599.678, 
  599.679.1, 599.681.1, 599.682.1, 599.683.1, 599.684.1, 
  599.685.1, 599.687.1, 599.688.1, 599.689.1, and 599.795.1.
  
  The State proposed that these changes would occur if all 
  21 BUs agreed.  However, since not all the BUs agreed to 
  these changes, DPA is not implementing the changes to the 
  salary rules at this time.  To go forward with these 
  changes would put in place two sets of salary rules for 
  State employees, creating additional work and confusion for 
  personnel staff when determining salary movement and salary 
  relationships.  Therefore, departments are to apply 
  Article 5 of DPA Regulations, Sections 599.666 through 
  599.689 and 599.795 when determining salary movement for 
  employees rather than the revised rule changes that appear 
  in the above BU agreements.
  
  The proposed rule changes appear in BUs 1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 
  11, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 19.  For those departments that may 
  have determined salary movement for their employees based 
  on these provisions those salary determinations may be 
  upheld.
  
  If you have any questions regarding this memorandum, you 
  may contact your department's Personnel Management 
  Technician in the Classification and Compensation Program 
  at DPA.
