Longevity/State Service Information
NOTE:THE INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE IS UNDER REVIEW
The 79th session of the Texas Legislature passed a bill that will increase Longevity Pay to $20 per month for every two years of service instead of every three years, effective, Sept. 1, 2005. Retirees who return to work after August 31, 2005, cannot receive longevity pay and only post-retirement service can count toward vacation accrual rates.
Since HRConnect has allowed employees to view their longevity status and months of state service, questions have been raised concerning how state service is calculated. As Employee Services has worked to answer these questions, it was discovered different interpretations of the Texas Government Code, State Auditor Office's Interpretations, and System Policy needed to be resolved. Employee Services (ES), working with System Internal Audit and System Business Computing Services, have agreed upon one standard method for calculating state service in order to provide consistency and correct interpretation across the University campus.
This web site has been developed to provide the results of the research. Please direct any questions about this material to the ES Employee Relations Office at Employee-Relations@tamu.edu or at (979) 862-4027.
