What did SB1292 want to accomplish?
SB1292 wanted to give a 9% pay raise starting July 1, 2024, to state employees, including both full-time and part-time workers. This raise would apply to everyone who was working for the state on the last working day of June 2024.
However, some people wouldn’t get this raise, like elected officials, top state leaders, and employees at most universities, except for those at the George Nigh Rehabilitation Institute.
The bill also explained what would happen with the raise for employees who were on leave without pay or who get their jobs back after being away. The raise can’t go above any limits set in the state’s budget or by law.
Who would benefit from this law?
✔️State Employees: Full-time and part-time state workers, including temporary and limited-term employees, will get a 9% pay raise if they were employed on the last working day of June 2024.
