To require the state to pay all state employees a $500 Holiday Bonus (Christmas) if state surplus revenues exceed 100$ million annually

HB 4144 would require West Virginia to pay eligible state employees a $500 Christmas bonus annually if the state's surplus revenues exceed $100 million in a given year. The bonus applies to state employees with at least three years of service and is paid in addition to any other salary increases approved by the Legislature. This provision directly affects state workers meeting the service requirement, contingent on the state having sufficient excess funds. The bill does not specify how surplus revenue is calculated or who administers the payment, focusing solely on the bonus trigger and eligibility.
