Terms Used In Connecticut General Statutes 5-194
- Compensation: means the salary, wages, benefits and other forms of valuable consideration earned by and provided to an employee in remuneration for services rendered. See Connecticut General Statutes 5-196
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- State service: means occupancy of any office or position or employment in the service of the state, but not of local governmental subdivisions thereof, for which compensation is paid. See Connecticut General Statutes 5-196
