Provide for contingent state employee bonus
Decision Package
Includes provisions for a contingent bonus of up to two or three percent, depending on the employee's performance evaluation, for full-time state employees on December 1, 2014. In order for the two percent bonus to be paid, statewide discretionary unspent general fund appropriations on June 30, 2014, must meet or exceed twice the general fund cost of the bonus. In order for the additional one percent (to reach a total of three percent) bonus to be paid, a combination of revenues exceeding the official revenue forecast and statewide discretionary unspent general fund appropriations on June 30, 2014 must meet or exceed twice the general fund cost of that portion of the bonus. Each agency will be responsible for funding the bonus out of its unspent discretionary appropriations. This gain-sharing effort provides an incentive for state employees to look for ways to make government more efficient.
