This unit also provides support, guidance and recommendations to other technical staff in the courts. Salary: The Judicial Department's practice is to begin employees at the first pay step. However, a higher starting pay rate may be considered depending on applicant's current salary and benefits, education, and experience.

JDPR 4.03(3)(e) states that upon transfer to another position with the same salary range, the transferring employee retains the same pay rate.
