Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) to allow all employees the option to, once per fiscal year, receive a lump sum payment of their accumulated vacation leave, not to exceed 40 hours.
Methodology
According to TDCJ, the annual cost associated with providing all current FTEs a lump sum payment in the amount of one week of accrued vacation leave per year would total $24,726,100. This presumes that all employees have at least 40 hours of leave and that all employees would opt to receive the lump-sum payment every year. Amounts could change with additional state employee pay increases.
Local Government Impact
No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
