Ray releases state employee pay and benefits plan
Ray proposes uneven pay raises for state workers plus merit pay continuations and improved health insurance. The plan includes 5 percent across the board for most, 6 percent for lower earners, and a continuation of merit benefits. It also calls for $7.50 dependent health coverage, life insurance boosts, an extra holiday, shift differentials, and 40 hour overtime rules. The total 2 year cost is about 135.8 million including all funds, with potential to leave $43.5 million in the treasury. The sick leave policy would become more restrictive with a monthly one and a half day accrual and an unlimited retirement bank.
