ACSS meets with CDCR Receiver Robert Sillen's staff regarding the upcoming pay increases for CDCR Health Care Workers.

It has been a difficult time for excluded employees in state service. Not only has it been six years since we received a raise, but during that time we have been devalued by our employer and, therefore, demeaned professionally.

It took courage, conviction and a lot of moxie for Dave Gilb, director of the Department of Personnel Administration, to make a personal presentation at the ACSS Board Meeting on Nov. 4, 2006. But, then, Dave has already proved to ACSS members that he is a man of integrity, a man of his word and a man who believes in down-home honesty and hard work.

Here are the winners in the Nov. 7 election.

The State Controller's Office (SCO) began issuing retroactive pay adjustments on October 2, 2006. Many employees will receive one payment covering both the retroactive pay and the bonus pay. The retroactive adjustment and the one-time bonus payments are subject to flat-rate supplemental wage withholding. You may find more information at the IRS web site.
