(1) (a) When a classified or unclassified employee has been finally ordered reinstated by the board without loss of pay, pursuant to the provisions of KRS § 18A.095, the executive director of the board shall forward a certified copy of said order to the Personnel Cabinet and the Finance and Administration Cabinet, which shall process proper payment to the employee for the period of suspension, said payment to be made out of the agency’s appropriations. If no funds or insufficient funds are available in the agency’s appropriations, then payment shall be made out of the “judgments” section of the general fund of the biennial state budget.
(b) Gross moneys which were earned by the employee from other sources during the period of suspension shall be set-off against the gross sum due the employee, to the extent that the moneys were earned in a number of hours comparable to the length of time the employee would have worked in the job from which he was dismissed. The Finance and Administration Cabinet shall by regulation provide an administrative procedure for determining reasonable earnings to be so set off.
