CalHR Director Julie Chapman addressed salary compaction - the phenomenon in which supervisors earn the same or less than those they supervise - in front of the Senate Subcommittee 5 on Corrections, Public Safety and the Judiciary today.
The Director stated that CalHR will have a list of recommendations for resolving compaction to the committee on or about June 30th of this year.
ACSS Legislative Advocate Ted Toppin thanked chair Sen. Loni Hancock and the other committee members for drawing attention to an issue that has plagued state excluded employees for years.
"The time has come to shine a light - a very bright light - on this issue and resolve it once and for all."
In an effort to raise more awareness of and support for resolving the issue, ACSS will be speaking one-on-one with dozens of legislators in the Capitol at our annual Lobby Day on March 13th.
Registration has officially closed for Lobby Day 2013.

Are you interested in having ACSS' professional labor relations team come to your worksite?
We'll provide lunch and answer any questions you and your fellow supervisors and managers may have regarding your career and rights.
Just fill out this brief survey and we'll get back to you ASAP to setup a meeting.
The Sacramento Bee is reporting on a survey ACSS conducted in 2012, in which 900+ respondents weighed in on pay inequity.
Your responses were astounding - nearly 80% of you responded that you are at the top of your pay scales, and 43% of you said that you earn less than or the same as an employee you supervise. Around 40% of you said you had considered demotion because of pay inequity.
For too long the State has failed to address pay inequity among its most skilled and dedicated employees, and in 2013 we're dedicated to finding a long term solution.
Do make less than or the same as an employee you supervise? Lobby Day is your chance to share your story with the state's lawmakers.
Find out more and register now!
Did you know that we'll cover the cost of Lobby Day travel and lodging for ACSS members?
We're making it easier than ever for hundreds of supervisors and managers to attend our annual event, in which we sit down face to face with legislators and tell them how their decisions impact us, the state's most skilled and dedicated employees.
Not only will we train you before you meet with legislators, we'll also cover your travel costs and give you a free hotel room at The Citizen Hotel in Sacramento.
Register now, and make sure to indicate if you need a hotel room for March 12th.
Assuming Gov. Brown maintains his promise to excluded employees, a top-step increase of 3% will go into effect on July 1, 2013 and show on the August 2013 pay warrant.
However, the 3% increase only applies to excluded employees who have been at the top of their pay scale for 12 months.
Employees who have not been at the top of their pay scale for 12 months as of July 1, 2013, will receive the 3% increase on their appropriate MSA date.
Therefore, if you receive your last step raise on July 1, 2013, you will then receive the 3% top-step increase 12 months later, on July 1, 2014.
