I am forwarding the attached Exempt Pay Letter received from the California Department of Human Resources regarding an adjustment to the fiscal year 2021–22 judicial salary increases.
Three executive branch bargaining units (5, 8, and 19) received a general salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2021. These salary increases have now been included in the calculations.
The pay letter addresses an adjusted judicial salary increase from 4.3% to 4.88% effective July 1, 2021, pursuant to provisions of Government Code section 68203, subdivision (a).
The State Controller’s Office (SCO) must still confirm dates for issuance of payments.
However, it is anticipated that the new salary rates will be reflected in December 2021 payroll checks issued on January 1, 2022. Also subject to SCO confirmation, a separate retroactive payment for July 2021–November 2021 could be delivered by December 31, 2021. We will advise you if these timeframes are altered by the SCO.
December 6, 2021
Please note that administrative presiding justices and presiding judges will continue to receive additional pay differentials to their compensation.

Subject: Exempt Pay Letter
Per Government Code section 68203, this is to notify you that the Department of Human Resources (CalHR) has adjusted the following statutory judicial salaries, effective July 1, 2021.
After CalHR calculated the 2021 Judicial Salary Increase of 4.30%, three bargaining units (5, 8, and 19) received a general salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2021. With the inclusion of the Bargaining Unit 5, 8, and 19 general salary increases, the 2021 calculation yields a 4.88% average percentage salary increase. To account for the difference between the previously provided 4.30% and the newly calculated 4.88%, CalHR has adjusted the judicial salaries by 0.5560% to 0.5562% as reflected in the chart below:
Please note that the monthly rate may be rounded down so that the total for the twelve months does not exceed the annual amount. If you have any questions, please contact Angelina Snarr at (916) 324-9406 or [email protected].
