April 24, 2025 — The Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) advises PEF that there were challenges in calculating years of qualifying service for the 2025 performance awards (longevities) for employees with more complicated work histories, which include the following groups:
- Employees with multiple records when time in the records do not overlap
- Employees with multiple payment eligible records
- Hourly and FEE service
- Legacy service prior to PayServ conversion
- Certain reinstatements where the effective date of the reinstatement is after the effective date of the rehire
OSC will therefore be conducting the necessary review and issuing additional and/or corrected payments for the above-referenced employee groups. When we find out more specific details about the dates for these additional payments, we will provide an update.
