Summary

A governing body approved a plan to provide special compensation award bonuses for employees in specified classifications across state agencies, covering projects such as S4HANA and pay-plan work; OPM recommended the plan and the request referenced Arkansas code 21 5 2 27.

The panel approved a request from the Department of Shared Administrative Services and DFNA to authorize a plan for special compensation award bonuses to employees in the classifications listed in the packet handout. Tony Robinson presented the item, saying the handout on members' tables (not in the packet) lists affected classifications and that OPM recommended the plan.

Robinson said the awards cover staff who worked on projects and programs listed in the handout, including S4HANA, pay plan, onboarding, "Bridal," and performance goals in the compensation system. He cited Arkansas code 21 5 2 27 as the statutory process for these bonuses. The body voted to approve the plan by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" responses and the chair's statement that the motion carries, but does not provide an itemized roll call or named tallies.

The presentation referenced an updated handout on members' tables that was not included in the original packet; the transcript does not specify dollar amounts or a list of individual employees eligible for the awards.
