Amendment #2 Attachment A - Positions Description and Pay Rates
This document is a pay rate schedule amendment for the State of South Carolina related to temporary medical services positions. The amendment establishes position classifications, job descriptions, and corresponding pay rates across multiple healthcare and support service roles within state institutions and agencies. The positions span entry-level support roles such as Nursing Assistants and Laboratory Aides through advanced clinical positions including Nurse Practitioners, Pharmacists, and Occupational Therapists. Pay bands are established with four rate tiers: entry-level pay rates, new employee rates, experienced employee rates, and advanced experienced rates. Positions are assigned class codes (such as EA01, EB25, ED17) and organized by pay band levels ranging from Band 01 through Band 10. Amendment #2 specifically increases pay rates for certain Licensed Practical Nurse and institutional nursing positions, with noted adjustments to reflect updated compensation schedules.
The pay structure encompasses 78 distinct position classifications with minimum education and experience requirements specified for each role. Positions include credentials requirements where applicable, such as state licensure for nurses, pharmacists, and therapists; professional certifications for medical assistants and technicians; and educational minimums ranging from high school diplomas for entry-level positions to master's degrees for advanced clinical and administrative roles. The amendment reflects South Carolina's compensation framework for healthcare professionals across state institutions including the Department of Mental Health, Department of Disabilities and Special Needs, Department of Corrections, Department of Juvenile Justice, and Vocational Rehabilitation Department. Pay rates accommodate progression based on employee experience and performance level, with the highest-compensated positions (Nurse Practitioner, Pharmacist II, Nursing Director) reaching maximum rates exceeding $100 per hour in certain bands.
