Pence Authorizes One-Time Bonuses for State Employees

Governor Mike Pence yesterday sent out letters to state employees authorizing one-time bonuses following performance evaluations in January. According to the letter, employees who meet expectations will receive a $500 bonus, those who exceed expectations will receive $750, and those rated outstanding will receive $1,000. Since the bonuses will be funded by the Personal Services Contingency Fund or absorbed by dedicated or federal funds, they will not impact the state’s general fund.

In the letter, Pence wrote that through the efforts of dedicated state employees, Hoosiers “continue to receive quality service and support when interacting with our state government.” He said Indiana is strong and growing stronger due in part to the commitment state employees exhibit every day in service to the public.
