The bill, titled the Education Auditor Equity Act, aims to address disparities in compensation among auditors employed by the Guam Department of Education (GDOE) who conduct audits in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS). It recognizes that auditors across various Government of Guam agencies may receive different pay based on their employing agency's classification systems and compensation structures, despite having similar qualifications and responsibilities. The bill seeks to ensure that GDOE auditors are compensated equitably with their counterparts in other government entities, aligning their salaries with the appropriate compensation levels based on their qualifications and roles.

To achieve this, the bill mandates that GDOE auditors' salaries be adjusted to reflect the compensation levels of similarly situated auditor positions within the Government of Guam, in accordance with the compensation policy established in Title 4 Guam Code Annotated 6301. This adjustment will consider various factors, including the auditor's classification, qualifications, and experience, and aims to promote internal equity and external competitiveness. The salary adjustments will remain in effect until a new Market Premium Pay Plan is established and implemented.
