Bill overview
Senate Bill 670 would allow the West Virginia Commissioner of Highways to offer locality pay to employees of the Division of Highways who work in specific areas designated by the commissioner. This pay differential is intended to help the Division of Highways attract and retain employees in locations where it’s difficult to find qualified workers. The amount of locality pay could exceed the employee’s regular salary range, but not surpass $10,000 annually. The commissioner would need to create rules for this pay system with legislative approval.
