Prgram Highlights Banking and Financial Divisin Majr Budget Highlights The divisin is slely funded thrugh state special revenues frm fees paid by regulated financial institutins Statewide present law adjustments fr the divisin increase persnal services due t high turnver f bank examiner psitins Majr Issues State special revenue supprting the divisin has a fund balance that is 269% abve a 60-day wrking capital need Persnal services increase between biennia due t high turnver in the divisin during FY 2012. In FY 2012, 32.4% f the divisin s 37 psitins were vacant at least 21.7% f the year. Accrding t the divisin, significant recruitment and retentin prblems exist within the divisin due in part t the pay freeze. Other issues related t staff retentin include: Significant travel assciated with examinatins Wrkplace cnditins as bank examiners may generate cncern and anxiety amng the bank emplyees being examined The divisin has several measures in place t address the issue including: Career tracks fr bank examiners Alternate wrk schedules Cmpensatin based n the number f nights an individual is n the rad A review f 20 psitins included in the bradband pay plan shws that as f June 5, 2012, 8 psitins r 40% f the wrkfrce s salaries were belw 80% f the market midpint fr the psitins. Accrding t the divisin, ne f the issues related t these psitins is an inability f state salaries t cmpete with federal gvernment and private sectr salaries.
