📄 Statewide Policies & Procedures

The Department of Budget and Management (DBM) is the central agency that oversees our divisions and develops statewide policies that all employees must follow. These policies are designed to ensure fairness, consistency, and compliance across all state agencies, including those represented by AFSCME Local 3661.

Whether you’re looking to understand your leave options, workplace rights, or ethical responsibilities, you can find direct access to key policy documents below. These resources are essential for every public employee and union member to understand the rules that govern our work.
