Employees of the legislative agencies are considered unclassified employees. Do they qualify for the one-time retention bonus payment?
The Comptroller’s analysis of the legislation indicates that unclassified employees are not excluded from the payment, if the employee is otherwise eligible. The decision for employees of the House of Representatives or the Senate will be determined by the presiding officer of the Legislature. The decision for employees of an elected officeholder and for employees of a legislative agency will be determined by the administrative head of the agency.
