In January 2015, CalHR reached an agreement with AFSCME, which provides for special salary adjustment (SSA) increases for Rank and File members of BU 19, effective July 1, 2015. ACSS has been discussing this issue with CalHR and is advocating for Supervisors and Managers in S19 and M19 classification to receive similar special salary increase. Per CalHR there is money allocated in the Governor’s State Budget for special salary adjustment increases M19 and S19. At this moment, CalHR has not provided any information about the specific excluded classifications who will receive an SSA or the amount of the SSA. ACSS Assistant Director of Representation, Nellie Lynn, says that “We are moving in the right direction” with these efforts. These special salary adjustments are subject to the budget process and they will have to go through the 2015 May Revise. As usual, ACSS will continue to advocate for our members and update you with progress on this issue in our efforts to resolve compaction.
