Title 74. State Government
§74-4117. Individual incentive compensation.

Pursuant to rules promulgated by the Committee, any state employee occupying a supervisory position in an agency, department, commission, or office eligible to participate in the incentive awards program provided for in Section 4115 of this title, monthly, may nominate employees for individual incentive compensation. Nominations for such compensation shall be made in the same manner as provided for in Section 4116 of this title concerning nominations for individual incentive awards. Those nominated for such compensation, at a minimum must have made an exceptional contribution similar to, but greater than, that required by the provisions of Section 4116 of this title. Employees determined by the Committee to be deserving of individual incentive compensation pursuant to the provisions of this section may be awarded an increase in compensation in a sum at least equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount determined by the Committee to be the total unit dollar savings to the state for the level of services rendered, but not to exceed the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00). Said incentive compensation shall be paid in one lump sum if the twelve-month period mirrors the fiscal year, or two single payments from any funds available to the nominating agency, department, commission, or office. The calculation for two payments shall be based on the number of months in the first fiscal year of implementation for the first payment. The second payment shall come at the end of the first twelve (12) months of implementation, which falls in the second fiscal year. No nominations for an individual incentive compensation award shall be made until the nominating agency, department, commission, or office assures that funds for said award are available. Funds for the payment of individual incentive compensation awards shall be considered encumbered to the extent said awards are approved by the committee.
