1 -$6,000 bonus for staff that have accumulated 3 years or more of service as of 7/1/2022 As of 7/1/22 there will be 1764 General Revenue positions that will have 3 or more years of service. 1764 x $6,000 = $10,584,000 The 2023 DCR General Revenue appropriations will need to be increased by $10,584,000 2 - $3,000 bonus after accumulating 3 years of service being employed on or after 7/1/22. 285 x 3000 = $855,000 Avg of 285 General Revenue staff have been hired the past 2 fiscal years. FY2026 if all positions remained with the agency DCR would need an estimated increase to their general revenue appropriations of $855,000 Being a bonus I did not calculate any type of benefits to go along with this payout

Explanation of above estimates (including long-range effect):


$6000 bonus for staff with 3 or more years of service as of 7/1/2022 The 2023 DCR General Revenue appropriations will need to be increased by $10,584,000. There was no discussion of furthering this practice so I did not determine any costs past FY2023 1 - This will increase operating costs by $10,584,000 2 - DCR will need an increase to General Revenue Appropriations of $10,584,000 to pay this bonus out. $3000 bonus for those hires 7/1/2022 or after. 1 - This will be an estimated increase to operating costs of approximately $855,000 for FY 2026 2 - DCR would need an increase to General Revenue Appropriations of approximately $855,000 for FY 2026 Full implementation combines the FY23 amount and the FY 26 amount
