Web Site Advisory April 3, 2008

Our web host will be performing routine maintenance on the MySql server that contains our data. The following message was provided by our host:

MySQL Maintenance Scheduled for Tonight

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve MySQL performance, we will be adding new hardware and re-allocating the load on our MySQL servers between 12:00am and 5:00am EDT on Thursday, April 3, 2008. During this five-hour maintenance window, there may be periods of time when your database is temporarily inaccessible, making the database-driven pieces of your Web site temporarily unavailable to your visitors. (You should be able to connect to your database(s) as normal for most of this maintenance window, but you may experience intermittent connectivity issues between midnight and 5:00am EDT.)

We have scheduled this maintenance for a time when traffic to most customers' sites is typically at its lowest. Still, we apologize for any inconvenience, and we expect that the work we're doing will help improve your site's performance.

Camacho Orders First Government-Wide Reclassification in 17 Years

July 1, 2008

Governor Felix P. Camacho has ordered the reclassification of government-wide pay.

A request for proposals will be released tomorrow for the Government-wide Position Classification Compensation and Benefits Study. The last classification was done in 1991.

"Government employees have been held to an old standard of compensation for too long," Governor Camacho said. "These hard working men and women deserve benefits and pay consistent with the dedication they give to improving our island. We need to sustain a competitive pay scale to retain and attract the best and brightest workers to serve our people."

The 1991 classification, known as the Hay Study, was conducted in September of that year. The standards of compensation and benefits from that study were enacted the following year and have remained for the past 16 years.

The deadline for submission of proposals will be July 31, 2008. The study itself may take as long as six months to complete. The study was authorized by Public Law 29-52, under Section 13.

Compensation and benefits studies have been conducted, affecting only certain groups of government employees such as teachers and nurses since the Hay Study. The classification study ordered by the Governor will affect all government employees.
