College of Agriculture and Life Science <br />Personnel office <br />MEMORANDUM sox 7917 <br />Raleigh NC 27695 -7917 <br />919.515.1382 (phone) <br />919.513.2617 (fax) <br />TO: County Extension Directors <br />FROM: Sheri Schwab, Associate Director NCCES and Director of County Operations <br />Nikki Kurdys, Personnel Coordinator` <br />DATE: November 16, 2015 <br />RE: Legislative Lump Sum Bonus <br />The Legislature has directed the payment of a one -time lump sum bonus of $750 to all State <br />permanent employees. Please note the following details: <br />• The one -time lump sum $750 bonus is to be effective in the month of December 2015. <br />• All COSS permanent and probationary employees and all EHRA (EPA) employees <br />who were employed as of November 1, 2015 will receive the bonus. <br />• The bonus is pro -rated based on FTE. For example, somebody working .75 FTE will <br />receive $562.50 <br />• The bonus does not apply to employees separated prior to November 1, 2015 or hired <br />effective November 2, 2015 or later. <br />• Employees on Leave of Absence effective November 1, 2015, paid or unpaid, will <br />receive the bonus. <br />• Employees will receive the bonus regardless of performance ratings or disciplinary <br />actions. <br />• The bonus will not be subject to retirement but is subject to all other taxes. <br />The Legislature has agreed to fund this bonus for all employees paid by the State. Given our <br />unique funding arrangement with the counties, NCSU Extension Administration has agreed to <br />pay the county portion of this bonus for employees that have NCSU funding on their <br />positions. <br />Employees paid 100% from County funds via the NCSU payroll will not receive the bonus as <br />there was no State funding provided for such a bonus. Additionally, employees who are paid <br />via NC A &T funds through the NCSU payroll will only receive the bonus based on NC <br />A &T's portion of their salary. For example, an employee funded 50% from NC A &T will <br />receive $375. <br />If counties wish to match this bonus or pay bonuses for 100% County paid employees they <br />can do so by submitting a County Salary Change and Budget Sheet by the December <br />deadline. Please work with your District offices on meeting the deadline. <br />F -2 Page 48 <br />
