Former Unemployment Insurance Agency Director Steve Gray also signed a separation agreement with the state when he resigned in November, a spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. Under Gray’s deal, released through a Freedom of Information Act request, the state paid him a lump sum of $85,872.56 to cover his salary through June 1, which the department said was "end date" of his employment contract. The agreement specified that “both parties shall maintain confidentiality regarding Mr. Gray’s employment with and departure from the department” unless disclosure is required by law. Sarah Esty, who served as a deputy director to Gordon and officially resigned last week, signed an agreement with the state that effectively paid her for one extra month but did not include a confidentiality clause.
