State Employee Pay Increase May Be 4 Percent
State lawmakers debate a 1985 86 budget with a likely 4 percent across the board pay raise for most state employees. Agency directors could see 2.6 to 5.2 percent increases while raises fall short of the South Carolina State Employees Association demand for 9 percent cost of living and 3 percent merit boosts plus a 5 percent longevity plan. The House Ways and Means Committee endorsed the proposal but the full House and Senate must approve, with potential changes if a new revenue estimate emerges.
