MEMORANDUM
I am forwarding the attached Exempt Pay Letter from the California Department of Human Resources regarding fiscal year 2024–25 judicial salary increases.
The pay letter addresses a 2.29 percent increase to judicial salaries effective July 1, 2024, pursuant to provisions of Government Code section 68203, subdivision (a).
The Judicial Council is aware that a small number of executive branch bargaining units are still in negotiations that may result in a further adjustment, per Government Code section 68203, subdivision (c). No final agreements have been reached as of today.
The new salary rates will be reflected in the August 2024 payroll checks issued on August 30, 2024. The State Controller’s Office has informed us that it will issue a separate retroactive payment for the month of July by August 31, 2024.
Please note that administrative presiding justices and presiding judges will continue to receive additional pay differentials to their compensation.
