2015 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 74. State Government
§74-840-2.15A. State Employee Compensation Program.

There is hereby established the "State Employee Compensation Program" within the executive branch. The State Employee Compensation Program will attract, retain and reward quality employees with competitive total compensation based on relevant labor markets. The Office of Management and Enterprise Services will be responsible for coordinating the implementation of the compensation program. The compensation program will establish pay structures with a goal of compensating state employees at a level of at least a ninety percent (90%) of compensation for comparable private sector positions. The compensation program will reinforce a productive work climate and culture of accountability and make the State of Oklahoma an employer of choice. Pay structures will be implemented with fairness and equity throughout the executive branch. Pay delivery mechanisms will be based on a combination of establishing and maintaining relativity to market, achievement of performance objectives, recognition of differences in job content, acquisition and application of further skill and education. The Legislature will be accountable for the funding of the pay structures established pursuant to the compensation program.
