In addition to your base pay, you may be eligible for various types of premium pay, depending on your position.
Benefit Replacement Pay
Benefit Replacement Pay (BRP) replaces the defunct state-paid FICA benefit.
You're eligible for BRP if you were a state employee on August 31, 1995. The amount of BRP you're eligible to receive is based on what your salary was on October 31, 1995 and whether you participate in the Teacher Retirement System or Optional Retirement Program.
You're not eligible for BRP if you had a break in state service for more than 12 months between August 31, 1995, and September 1, 2005, or a break in state service of 30 days or more after September 1, 2005.

If you are a full-time commissioned law enforcement employee, you are eligible for hazardous duty pay after completing of 12 months of service. Hazardous duty pay begins on the first day of the next month and increases after completion of each 12 months of service.
