According to a memo from the DMV Human Resources Branch (HRB), the State Controller's Office (SCO) is currently processing roughly 6,700 retroactive pay adjustments for DMV supervisors. According to the HRB those adjustments "will generate for most employees in the affected classifications on or around Monday, November 4, 2013."
Furthermore, the HRB will be working to process an additional 3,700+ unusual cases (such as those employees who have received worker's comp, worked overtime, etc., etc.) that fall outside the SCO's processing capabilities.
ACSS is holding holiday parties throughout the state in December. Regional meetings vary, but may include raffles, dinner, dancing, and more!

In a meeting with ACSS Senior Labor Relations Representative Nellie Lynn, CalHR's Excluded Employee Labor Relations Officer Stephen Booth confirmed that his department is closely examining salary compaction - the phenomenon in which excluded employees often earn less than those they supervise.
"We're in the pre-budget process now," said Booth.
"And we're taking a serious look at compaction and some of the other perennial wage issues that have plagued supervisors."
Wall Street money managers are thinking about your retirement, too. They want to destroy our retirement system, CalPERS, so they can feed at the expense of state employees, retirees and taxpayers. After our pension is destroyed or substantially reduced, they would be happy to invest whatever money is left.
Your Association of California State Supervisors (ACSS) has secured $3,500 per employee in relocation funding for Lanterman Development Center (LDC) excluded employees who voluntarily transfer to another position within DDS.
The Relocation Assistance is being awarded as a result of recent discussions between ACSS and the Department of Developmental Services (DDS).
The Relocation Assistance is in effect retroactively from January 1, 2013, and will terminate upon the establishment of the reemployment list for each excluded employee classification.
As CDCR continues with Wave 4 of its layoff plan, it will be offering another series of informational meetings for potentially impacted employees.
Newly re-elected CalPERS Board Member J.J. Jelincic will be addressing Sacramento-area state supervisors and managers this coming Wednesday, October 30th:
Community Colleges Building 1102 Q Street, 3rd Floor Sacramento, CA 95814
Mr. Jelincic will be discussing San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed's newest round of pension attacks and taking your questions.
Attendance and dinner are free for current and potential ACSS members who RSVP to carol.rogersACSS@gmail.com by October 28th. Space is limited, RSVP now to lock in your spot!
J.J. Jelincic has a long history of fighting for state employees. He was elected to serve as president of the California State Employee Association for two consecutive terms beginning in 2003 and has been an investment officer for CalPERS since 1986.
After Mayor Chuck Reed and his cohorts filed papers to get a new constitution-amending pension attack on the ballot, CalPERS took a moment to weigh in on this latest round of attacks against state and local public employees.
CalPERS has pledged to uphold their responsibilities as defined in both the U.S. and California Constitutions, and to continue supporting and defending the rights that were promised to public employees.
CalPERS' official statement concluded with a call on legislators to find a solution that improves retirement security for all Californians, not remove it from those who have earned it.
Read the full statement at CalPERS.ca.gov
Under the guise of protecting public services, several California mayors have proposed altering California's constitution to allow state and local administrators to gut pension benefits for current employees.
