State employees have an array of ideas on how to improve state government and many employees receive recognition for their productive suggestions.
Employees can receive awards from up to ten percent of the first year estimated savings.
Cash awards are generally presented in net amounts. Employees may join others to submit ideas. Teamwork can pay dividends for those who work together to invent better ways to do a job. Supervisors are given a certificate of merit for adopted suggestions producing no savings. Suggestions are submitted directly to a state-wide committee of employees, then forwarded for appraisal.
