/ (2) D50- Department of Administration
Employee Pay Bonus $23,500,000
(2.1) From the funds appropriated above in item (2), 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 $23,500,000 to provide for a one-time lump sum bonus. Each permanent state employee, in a full-time equivalent position, who has been in continuous state service for at least six months prior to July 1, 2015, and who earns less than $100,000 shall receive a $800 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 and the employing agency shall pay the bonus for federal and other funded full-time equivalent positions employees from federal or other funds available to the agency in the proportion that such funds are the source of the employee's salary. The earnings limit in Proviso 117.55 does not apply to this bonus. If only a portion of the $23,500,000 becomes available, then the one-time lump sum payment to each qualified employee must be reduced proportionately.
