SB 5792: Concerning temporary compensation reductions for state government employees during the 2025-2027 fiscal biennium.

SB 5792 mandates a 4.98% temporary salary reduction for most state government employees (excluding certain roles) during the 2025-2026 fiscal year. It exempts elected officials (who may voluntarily reduce salaries), employees at state universities, specialized staff (like Washington State Patrol officers), and those earning under $2,500 monthly. The bill requires agencies to use options like temporary leave (8.67 hours/month) or reduced hours if collective bargaining agreements prevent direct salary cuts, while ensuring minimum wage protections. It applies specifically to the 2025-2026 period within the broader 2025-2027 budget cycle.
