- The Commonwealth of Kentucky published pay range for Investigator Supervisor is $4,444 to $7,110 per month, spanning every alternate range the plan defines.
- Kentucky publishes an entry rate and a midpoint for each pay grade, not a maximum, so the upper figure on this page is the grade midpoint.
- That works out to about $53,329 to $85,326 a year at full time.
- Kentucky Personnel Cabinet keys this classification as class code 20001907.
- The plan defines 3 alternate ranges for this class, so the rate depends on which criteria an employee meets.
- This is the range the plan authorises, not the salary of any individual employee.
