Bill > SB00024

This bill proposes to modify Chapter 66 of the general statutes to prevent overtime payments from being included when calculating a state employee's retirement income or pension. Currently, overtime pay may be factored into the base salary used to determine retirement benefits, which can artificially inflate an employee's pension amount. By explicitly excluding overtime payments from pension calculations, the bill aims to create a more standardized and predictable method of determining retirement income for state employees. This change would ensure that an employee's pension is based solely on their regular, standard wage rather than including additional compensation from extra hours worked or overtime shifts. The bill is designed to address potential inequities in pension calculations and provide a more consistent approach to retirement benefits for state employees.
