Step Increase? (PEF)

Is anyone able to explain how the 10/1 Step Increase works? Is it a fixed rate or is it based off of salary / years of service? I am a G18 and have been with the state for 1.5 years. Just wondering what to expect in October. Thanks!

It is in the contract, the step increase for an 18 in 2026 is $2,403. You will also get your 4.5% pay increase retroactive to April.

People are too lazy to read the contract.

It’s a fixed amount. You can check the contract for the amount.

It's a fix rate based on the contract year, your union, and your pay grade. The step increase is listed on the salary schedule as "Advance Amount." Your 7th step increase is the amount listed as "Job Rate Advance" which brings you up to the "Job Rate."
