Kansas raises the total award cap per employee from $3,500 to $10,000 each fiscal year, excluding separate cost-reduction suggestion awards. Agencies can offer hiring, recruitment, and retention bonuses through their award programs, but payments are not guaranteed. Appointed employees may now receive monetary awards; elected officials remain excluded. Agencies need governor approval before paying monetary awards totaling over $3,500 to classified employees or unclassified employees covered by salary-approval rules. Separate cost-reduction suggestion awards are exempt from that approval requirement.
The administration secretary reviews award programs for executive agencies and appointed state councils and commissions to prevent abuse and support fair decisions. The secretary no longer has authority to issue program rules. Kansas also drops its requirement that awards meet federal discretionary-bonus standards; this does not itself determine wages or overtime pay. Agencies giving monetary awards must report award counts and dollar totals by category to the secretary each year by August 1. The secretary reports those figures to the House Appropriations and Senate Ways and Means committees when each regular legislative session starts.
