Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 2, § 599.796 - Managerial Performance Appraisal System Bonuses
The managerial bonus program prescribed below is suspended for the 1990-1991, 1991-1992, 1992-1993, 1993-1994, and 1994-1995 fiscal years for agencies that award bonuses on a fiscal year basis and for the 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 calendar years for agencies that award bonuses on a calendar year basis. No bonuses shall be paid based on managerial performance occurring during these years, or in any subsequent years as authorized by the Department. For other years, the managerial bonus program is governed as follows:
(a) As prescribed
in this regulation, state agencies may award bonuses to employees who have been
designated managerial pursuant to Government Code section
18801.1 in
lieu of considering them for awards under the Merit Award Board superior
accomplishment award programs. With the approval of the Department, agencies
that have civil service managers in the bonus program may also include exempt
appointees who perform similar managerial duties. Employees shall receive these
awards based on the level of their job performance, as ascertained through the
Managerial Performance Appraisal System (MPAS) described in section
599.796.1 of these
regulations.
(b) Unless otherwise
approved by the Department, bonuses shall be awarded by October 1 of each year
for job performance during the fiscal year ending on the preceding June
30.
(c) To be eligible to
participate in the bonus program, an employee must have at least 180 calendar
days during the performance rating year during which he or she:
(1) was appointed to one or more managerial
or approved exempt positions; and,
(2) performed managerial duties covered by
one or more MPAS work plans. Unless otherwise approved by the Department, a
state agency electing to participate in the bonus program shall include all of
its eligible managers in the program.
(d) For state agencies with ten or more
eligible managers, the bonus program is funded at the rate of $500 per eligible
manager. Bonuses shall range from a minimum of $1,250 to a maximum of $5,000.
State agencies with fewer than ten participating managers shall follow the schedule below
| Number of Eligible Managers | Bonus Fund | Number of Bonuses | Minimum Bonus Size |
| 1 | 2,500 | 1 | 750 |
| 2 | 2,500 | 2 | 750 |
| 3 | 2,500 | 3 | 750 |
| 4 | 2,500 | 3 | 750 |
| 5 | 2,500 | 3 | 750 |
| 6 | 3,000 | 3 | 1,000 |
| 7 | 3,500 | 3 | 1,000 |
| 8 | 4,000 | 3 | 1,250 |
| 9 | 4,500 | 3 | 1,250 |
(e) Bonuses paid as a result of outstanding
performance as documented in any statewide appraisal system for employees
designated managerial pursuant to Government Code section
18801.1
will not be considered compensation for the purpose of contributions to
retirement.
(f) Bonus awards may be
appealed to the eligible employee's appointing power or his/her designee within
30 days of the award date. Denials of these appeals may be appealed to the
Department only on the basis of fraud. These appeals must be submitted within
30 days of their denial by the appointing power.
