The State of Michigan continues to have difficulty recruiting and retaining Corrections Officers. To address these challenges the parties agree to implement an additional pay step for security unit employees in the Michigan Civil Service pay schedule C12-001 at the E9 level.

Effective the first full pay period in October 2025, an additional step will be added to the Civil Service pay schedule (C12-001) E9 level, at 54 months.  The new pay rate will be set at $1.30 per hour higher than current rate at the end of the 42 month step.

Any E9 level employee in the security unit within pay schedule C12-001 who has been at the current end of 42 month pay step for 2080 hours will be moved to the new end of 54 month maximum pay step. Thereafter, any E9 employee at the current maximum step of end of 42 month in pay schedule C12-001, that have less than 2080 hours (one year of service) at that step, will be moved to the new maximum rate upon completion of 2080 hours at the end of 42 month step.
