At least for the purpose of preparing budget motions to be considered in the joint committee, JFAC has unanimously accepted the 3 percent CEC, or change in employee compensation, recommendation from a joint committee that met on Friday. That’s down from the governor’s recommendation of 5 percent average raises for state employees next year. Though individual members still could propose departures from that in individual motions on agency budgets, it sets the figure as the bottom line in all budget calculations – which makes it that much more likely to become reality. At this point, that 3 percent doesn’t apply to public school employees; no decisions have yet been made on that. JFAC starts setting agency budgets tomorrow.
