The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 25, aims to amend chapter 66 of the general statutes by excluding payments of overtime from the calculation of base salary for purposes of determining state employees' retirement income. This change is intended to prevent overtime payments from being factored into the pension calculations for state employees, thereby potentially reducing the retirement benefits that are based on their salary. The primary purpose of this legislation is to ensure that state employees' pensions are calculated solely on their base salary, without the influence of additional overtime earnings. This could lead to a more standardized approach to retirement income for state employees, aligning their pension benefits more closely with their regular earnings rather than fluctuating overtime pay.
