Department of Personnel and Administration. The DPA will add a Human Resources Specialist IV
at the midpoint of the salary range to support the compensation manager by performing validations,
verifications, and comparisons of the state’s job classes to the market. Because the total compensation
survey will not be conducted in FY 2022-23, the DPA appropriation is reduced by $300,000. Standard

General Fund pay date shift.
Centrally appropriated costs. Pursuant to a Joint Budget Committee policy, certain costs associated
with this bill are addressed through the annual budget process and centrally appropriated in the Long
