The new language creates the option for appointing authorities to request of the state personnel director the ability to award lump sums to employees for working on a special project. For employment on a project basis not involving continual employment and where application is made in advance of employment, the state personnel director may establish an alternative hourly rate of pay or lump sum award that may exceed the scheduled maximum pay. The proposal was circulated for comment on Appointing Authority Letter CS-6871, dated February 24, 1998. Staff believes the change will assist agency management by offering an incentive to provide lump sum awards to employees who remain on a project until its completion. The new language has also been incorporated into Compensation Procedure 1, General Salary Schedule Administration .
