The bill amends the Government Code to establish new payment schedules for state employees and officers. Specifically, it mandates that state officers receive their annual salaries once a month, while state employees will be paid twice a month, except as provided by the General Appropriations Act. The bill removes previous provisions that allowed for different payment schedules based on specific employment conditions and agencies, streamlining the payment process for state employees.
Additionally, the bill includes provisions for electronic funds transfer for salary payments and requires state agencies to report salary information to the retirement system in a specified manner. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, and will only apply to compensation for services provided on or after that date, ensuring that any services rendered before this date will be governed by the existing law.
