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.
