Q: When must documentation be turned in to receive my 1% advanced component award during the current fiscal year?
A: The 1% advanced component
awards are awarded in conjunction with the lump sum
merit award. In order to receive your 1% advanced

during the current fiscal year (July 1 - June 30),
documentation must be submitted to the Department
of Human Resources no later than May 15. Please note that the 1% advanced component is awarded at the same time as the lump sum
merit award. Example: If an employee
has received a lump sum merit award in the current
fiscal year, and later in the same fiscal year the
employee satisfies the requirements for an advanced
component award, the 1% advanced component award and the lump sum merit award will be processed in the
following fiscal year.
