The Governor’s Salary Commission Report of January 2014 indicates that non-pay-for-performance bonuses were provided to employees during 2003-2014. Maryland’s Department of Budget and Management has instructed the pay-for-performance bonuses should not be budgeted in FY 2015 and FY 2016. There has been no further information to indicate that pay-for-performance bonuses will be budgeted in the out years. In 2020, the Maryland Veteran Program will research and analyze the JVSG Incentive Program to determine if it would be benefit Maryland.   If found to be beneficial and approved by State leadership, Maryland will apply for the Annual Performance Incentive Awards for State employees and Employment Service Offices.
