Below are a couple of interesting follow up items to our June 5th article (according to ACSS Legislative Advocate Ted Toppin):
Does your department provide 80 hours of supervisory training that is required by Government Code Section 19995.4? CalHR is reaching out to build a repository of training classes offered by departments across the state to streamline the process of developing training content. Your department's information will help CalHR to build and update the materials offered through the State Training Center. CalHR wants to know:
If your department provides this training, please contact Nathan Parker by Friday June 20, 2014.

In the June 3rd Primary Election, ACSS-endorsed candidates had a tremendous day! Here are some of the notable achievements:
ACSS applauds the results and accomplishments of our candidates and stands by their side as the head into the November run-off. Great work!
Per a memo from CalHR, the Department of Finance will begin auditing departments to verify that they are in compliance with Government Code 12439, which states that:
"Under Government Code section 12439(a) 'any state position that is vacant for six consecutive monthly pay periods shall be abolished by the Controller.'"
The memo contains a list of resources for personnel and budget chiefs to review with their staff to ensure compliance.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS) is hosting another Benefits Education Event to help members plan for a more financially secure future.
The event will be held in Visalia on May 30 and 31.
The California Primary Election is June 3, 2014 - just 2 weeks away.
Your ACSS Legislative Committee and Board of Directors has been carefully interviewing and evaluating dozens of candidates from around the state to help present a guide to the candidates who are most likely to meet our needs as state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees.
We've listed all of our endorsed candidates in one convenient location, sorted by geographical area. We'll continue to update the list through the Primary and General Elections as we endorse more candidates.
Governor Brown's revised budget includes nearly $184 million to cover a 2% raise for thousands of state employees.
The 2% "trigger-based" salary increases were dependent on the State hitting certain revenue targets. The revised budget summary for "Statewide Issues" clarifies that the revenue targets have been surpassed, triggering the raises.
We're still waiting for additional information from Finance to outline the full scope of eligible employees, so stay tuned for updates.
With California's Primary Election just three short weeks away, your ACSS is organizing efforts to improve voter turnout among state supervisors, managers, and confidential employees.
