Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) The amount of monthly salary for an annual employee who maintains a 40-hour workweek and is covered under Chapter 658 is computed in accordance with the General Appropriations Act and equitable rules adopted by the comptroller.
(b) For purposes of partial payment or other applicable situations, an employee's equivalent hourly rate of pay for a given month is computed in accordance with the General Appropriations Act and equitable rules adopted by the comptroller. Alternatively, an institution of higher education as defined by Section 61.003, Education Code, may compute an employee's equivalent hourly rate of pay for a given month by dividing the employee's annual salary by 2080, which is the number of working hours in the standard work year. This subsection applies only to full-time employees described by Subsection (a) and to part-time salaried employees.
(c) When an employee is on leave without pay, compensation for the pay period will be reduced by an amount computed in accordance with the General Appropriations Act and equitable rules adopted by the comptroller.
(d) An agency that may contract with its employees for employment for less than a 12-month period may make equal monthly salary payments under the contract during the contract period or during the fiscal year in accordance with the General Appropriations Act and equitable rules adopted by the comptroller.
