            ( .1)     Effective on the first pay date that occurs on or after the date the funds become available, the Department of Administration shall allocate to state agencies $25,500,000 to provide for a one-time lump sum bonus. Each state employee, in a full-time equivalent position, who has been in continuous state service since June 2, 2015, is eligible to receive a $900 one-time lump sum payment. This payment is not a part of the state employee's base salary and is not earnable compensation for purposes of employer or employee contributions to respective retirement systems. This appropriation may be used for payments to employees only in the same ratio as the employee's base salary is paid from appropriated sources. The earnings limit in Proviso 117.55 does not apply to this bonus.
