(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of section 5-212, each employee in the state service who has completed not less than ten years of state service and who is not included in any collective bargaining unit, except those employees whose compensation is prescribed by statute, shall receive a lump-sum longevity payment on the last regular pay day of April 2013, based on service completed as of the first day of September 2011, determined in accordance with the longevity rate schedule established for the employee's class of position by the Commissioner of Administrative Services, except that a retired employee who retired between October 1, 2012, and March 31, 2013, inclusive, shall receive, in the month immediately following retirement, a prorated payment based on the proportion of the six-month period served prior to the effective date of the employee's retirement.

(b) No longevity payment shall be made to any employee in the state service who is not included in any collective bargaining unit, except those employees whose compensation is prescribed by statute, for service completed on or after April 1, 2013.

Sp. Sess. P.A. 12-1, S. 32.)

Amended by P.A. 12-0001, S. 32 of the 2012 Second Special Session, eff. 12/21/2012.

Statute cannot be construed as prohibiting a retiree from receiving more than two longevity payments in last year of state service prior to retirement; plaintiffs were entitled to have their final, prorated longevity payments added directly to their final year salaries in the calculation of their base salaries. 284 Conn. 149.
