Ariz. Admin. Code § R13-5-203 - Pay Administration

A. Base pay adjustment. An agency head may modify base pay by adding cost-of-living and other adjustment appropriated by the state Legislature. An agency head may also request that the Council revise the compensation plan to include other changes to base pay, as needed. After base pay adjustments are completed, an agency head may add special duty pay before computing an employee's pay rate.

B. Appropriated pay adjustment. Upon approval by the Council the agency head may apply some or all the appropriated funds to the compensation plan, if the appropriation bill does not include specific allocation instructions for an employee pay raise, or if the instructions are not applicable to the agency.

C. Special duty assignment. An agency head may supplement the base pay of an employee on a special duty assignment. Time spent on a special duty assignment counts toward an employee's length of service. An employee may receive special duty pay only for the period when the employee performs the required duties of the special duty assignment.

D. Return from special duty assignment or uncovered appointment. When an employee returns to a regular appointment from a special duty assignment or an uncovered appointment, the agency shall return the employee's pay to the employee's base pay earned before being assigned to a special duty assignment or uncovered appointment. If general pay adjustments or classification adjustments are approved while an employee is on a special duty assignment or serving in an uncovered appointment, the employee shall receive the adjustments.

E. Overtime pay. The agency head shall adopt an overtime policy and procedure consistent with federal regulations under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Arizona Revised Statutes, and this Chapter. Compensatory leave is accrued and used as provided by R13-5-505.
