STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
This is the FY 2021 original appropriation bill for the Department of Labor. It appropriates a total of $97,252,200 and caps the number of authorized full-time equivalent positions at 708.58. For benefit costs, the bill maintains the current appropriated amount for health insurance at $11,650 per eligible employee and temporarily removes funding for the employer's sick leave contribution rate. The bill also provides for the equivalent of a 2% change in employee compensation for permanent state employees, with an additional 2% increase for those in the 20 job classifications most in need of equity adjustments. Funding for a 3% upward shift in the compensation schedule is also included. The bill funds three line items, which provide $150,000 for visual threat analysis software; $690,000 for additional network hardware; and 26.00 FTP and $6,248,700 for the Job Corps Demonstration Project. Also included are adjustments to pay the Office of Information Technology Services for security software and data center office space located at the Chinden Campus; and billing adjustments in excess of current appropriations. Lastly, the ongoing General Fund appropriation is reduced by 2%.
