Government Employment Amendments

HB 404 amends Utah's government employment rules, primarily focusing on the state's pay for performance management system. It allows independent state entities to opt into the system, clarifies which employees can participate, and repeals outdated Section 63A-17-111. The bill also adds a bereavement leave provision for employees experiencing pregnancy loss (miscarriage or stillbirth) or supporting a partner in such circumstances. These changes directly affect state agencies and their employees participating in the pay for performance program, with no new funding required.
