REQUESTED ACTION
Pursuant to RSA 94:1-a. III, the Board of Tax and Land Appeals requests approval for a salary differential
above a subordinate classified employee for Eric J. Wind, Esq., Board Member, position #9U166
(unclassified position letter grade DD), in the amount of $4,680 from a eurrent salary of $109,966 to a new
annual salary of $114,646, effective upon the Governor and Executive Council approval. Appropriation 01-
89-089-890010-12410000-011-500126. 90% General Funds, 10% Fuel Inventory Maintenance.
EXPLANATION
RSA 94:1-a. 111 states: any official whose salary upon placement in the new salary range is less than that of
a subordinate classified employee shall be placed at the next higher step in range above said classified
employee and shall be entitled to any increase provided for herein until the maximum provided herein is
reached. However, in the event that the maximum of the unclassified position is less than the salary ofsaid
subordinate classified employee, the governor and council is authorized to increase the maximum of the
unclassified position in an amount to provide a differential of not more than $1,000.
The provisions of RSA 94:1-a. 111 contemplate that the salary of a superior unclassified employee that would
otherwise be less than that of a classified subordinate employee may exceed that of the subordinate employee
up to $1,000, with the Governor and Exeeutive Council approval. A subordinate position of the board is
currently filled by a classified employee who is currently compensated at Pay Band 7, Step 9 (SOCl 1 pay
scale) - an amount of an annual salary of $113,646. This salary exeeeds RSA 94:l-a's salary range for board
members and the current salary established by Governor and Council of $109,966 (approved on January 15,
2025, agenda items 33-35). The Board of Tax and Land Appeals is seeking approval from the Governor and
Exeeutive Council to compensate this unclassified position at $1,000 per year above the classified
subordinate.
