(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that, following union ratification of agreements reached between his administration and the State Employees Bargaining Agent Coalition (SEBAC), the contracts and accompanying details have been transmitted to the Connecticut General Assembly for its consideration.
“State residents and businesses depend on our state employees, who keep us safe, maintain our roads, educate students, protect our environment, and deliver assistance to our most vulnerable residents,” Governor Lamont said. “This agreement recognizes their dedication, supports retention and recruitment, and delivers a fair deal for taxpayers. I urge the General Assembly to act quickly to approve this agreement and deliver these reasonable wage increases to our state employees.”
The wage contracts were tentatively agreed upon over the past few weeks and ratified by the respective unions. Pursuant to state statutes, the contracts must now be considered by the state legislature.

The agreements include 2.5% general wage increases retroactive to July 1, 2025, and continuing prospectively on July 1, 2026, and July 1, 2027. In the fourth year, the parties will reconvene to negotiate wages.
For non-represented staff, legislation enacted in 2021 requires equity in salary adjustments between represented and non-represented employees. Extending these wage increases to non-represented staff will require approval by the Connecticut Office of Policy and Management.
