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, 2024.
After CalHR calculated the 2024 Judicial Salary Increase of 2.29 percent, two bargaining units (5 and 10) received a general salary increase retroactive to July 1, 2024, and one bargaining unit (8) received a general salary increase on November 1, 2024. With the inclusion of the Bargaining Unit 5, 8, and 10 general salary increases, the 2024 calculation yields a 2.62 average percentage salary increase. To account for the difference between the previously provided 2.29 percent and the newly calculated
2.62 percent, CalHR has adjusted the judicial salaries by 0.3226 percent to 0.3228 percent 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) 909-3307 or [email protected].
