N.M. Code R. § 1.7.4.11 - SALARY SCHEDULES
A. Based
on the pay plan, the director shall develop and maintain salary schedules for
the classified service that shall consist of pay bands.
B. No employee in the classified service
shall be paid a salary less than the minimum nor greater than the maximum of
their designated pay band unless otherwise authorized by the director, or
provided for in these rules, or the employee has been transferred into the
classified service by statute, executive order, or order of a court of
competent jurisdiction.
C. The
director, pursuant to the direction of the board, shall adjust the salary
schedules to address the external competitiveness of the service or other
concerns. Employees whose pay band is adjusted upward or downward shall retain
their current salary. Such salary schedule adjustments may result in employees
temporarily falling below the minimum or above the maximum of their pay band
upon implementation.
(1) The pay of employees
who would be above the maximum of the pay band shall not be reduced.
(2) The pay of employees who fall below the
minimum of their pay band shall be raised to the minimum unless the director
confirms that the agency does not have budget availability. In these instances,
agencies shall raise the pay of employees to the minimum of their pay band
within six months of the effective date of the salary schedule adjustment. The
director may grant an extension to the six-month time period upon submission
and approval of a plan by the agency to raise the pay of employees to the
minimum of their pay band.
D. An employee's placement in the pay band
will be identified by a compa-ratio value.
