State Raises and Bonuses Delayed | Winston–Salem News

State workers are getting raises and bonuses — but not until August or even October. The new budget signed in July offers 3% pay hikes and $1K–$1,750 bonuses, with law enforcement getting the top amount regardless of salary. Unfortunately, the July payroll cycle missed the mark — raises appear in August checks (backdated to July 1), while bonuses won’t hit until late September or even October for some teachers. Officials say it’s about accuracy and eligibility, not politics — though one union rep suspects otherwise. Even if you quit before bonuses are paid, you’ll still get your share, mailed later this fall. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
