§ 36-4-62. Pay incentive program.
There is hereby established a pay incentive program for all state employees except
department heads, administrators, or any supervisors considered by the personnel administrator
to be at the management level. Any state employee who submits recommendations or proposals
to eliminate inefficiencies, duplication, or waste shall receive five percent (5%)
of any savings realized up to a maximum of two thousand dollars ($2,000) which relate
directly to the employee's proposed change. The incentive pay shall be computed on
the actual savings for a twelve (12) month period, the period to run from the time
that the proposed change is instituted. The incentive pay shall be paid to the employee
at the end of the twelve (12) month period in a lump sum from the budget account of
the department that realized the savings and shall be in addition to the employee's
regular salary. Employees who qualify for the incentive pay shall receive the lump
sum only for the first year's savings and not for any subsequent years. The personnel
administrator shall promulgate such rules as he or she may consider necessary, appropriate,
or desirable to carry out the provisions of this section.
