(e) The deputy district attorneys appointed by the district attorney to serve in the positions identified in subsection (b) shall be compensated at the rate consistent with their appointment in accordance with the schedule of salaries set out by subsection (f). Thereafter, increases in compensation for each deputy district attorney may be made annually within the grade scale set out in the schedule of salaries in subsection (f), provided the performance of the deputy district attorney has been satisfactory to the district attorney.
