Performance awards checks on the way
By SHERRY HALBROOK
The Office of the State Comptroller has issued the payroll bulletin directing
payment of the April 2006 performance (longevity) awards to PS&T employees. They
will be paid in separate checks on April 19 for the administrative payroll and
April 27 for those on the institution payroll cycle. Direct deposit is not
available for this payment.
The awards are $1,250 for five years at the job rate and it doubles after 10
years.
To be eligible to receive a longevity award, you must meet the following
criteria:
• You must be on the state payroll on March 31, 2006 (active or on leave with
partial pay or on workers’ compensation or military leave) in a position in the
PS&T bargaining unit; and
• You must have five or more, or 10 or more years of continuous service at a
salary equal to or above the job rate, or the maximum of the grade of your
position on March 31, 2006. Continuous service is defined as paid service
(including part-time annual-salaried service and sick leave at half pay) or time
on workers’ comp leave or military leave without pay; and
• You must not have received an “unsatisfactory” performance rating during the
rating period ending between January 1 and December 31, 2005. Employees who were
not rated during the period will receive the payment.
Employees who are full-time on March 31 or full-time employees who are on leave
with partial pay, workers’ comp leave, military leave, or on a voluntary
reduction in work schedule (VRWS) will receive the full payment. Employees who
are part-time on March 31 will receive a prorated payment based on their
part-time percentage on March 31.
