PDS has been working with Employee Compensation in efforts to ensure an appropriate and consistent structure for the PDS staffed offices.

Employee Compensation and the Office of Management and Budget have approved the restructure proposal that has been submitted by PDS. Position 15048, in the Office of the Legal Defender, has been vacated as a result of the employee’s participation in the FY2009-10 Retirement Health Enhancement Program and can be inactivated. The position attributes are as follows: MRT: Admin & Operations Manager Status: Unclassified Budgeted Rate: $49.76 In accordance with PEHPEP policies, 10% ($10,390) of the incumbent’s budgeted salary of $103,899 can be offered in annual savings for FY 2010-11.
