(Jefferson City, MO) -- With the signature of Missouri's Governor Mike Parson, state employees will begin seeing an 8.7% pay increase as well as a $2 per-hour bump in pay for group care employees working nights and weekends. Parson signed House Bill 14 in downtown Jefferson City, where thousands of state employees gathered to cheer him on. The bill, that follows a 7.5-percent pay increase in 2022 for state employees, will cost taxpayers an additional 600-million-dollars. The pay increase does not include statewide elected officials, legislative members, and judges.
