The proposal is specifically for state employees whose salaries are set in a pay schedule in state code. A pay increase for other state employees would be subject to an appropriation in the state budget.

There is a <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/money" target="_blank">$115 million fiscal note</a> for the raises for all state employees.

A proposal to give pay raises to teachers, state police troopers, and school service workers has passed the Senate Finance Committee in West Virginia.
