COLAs and Furloughs for Unrepresented

Per a document published on 6/24/09 by the Department of Personnel Services titled : BUDGET DECISIONS IMPACTING SOME UNREPRESENTED POSITIONS.

COLAs - In December 2006, the Board of Supervisors approved a five-year plan that gave unrepresented employees automatic cost-of-living increases each year. While the first three years of the plan have been implemented, the Board approved waiving COLA increases in FY 2009/10 for unrepresented employees in units 028, 060, and 080.

Furloughs - Beginning July 1, 2009, and effective through June 19, 2010, each full-time unrepresented employee in units 028, 060, and 080 will be required to take one unpaid furlough day per month (12 total). Employees will be required to use all furlough days by June 30, 2010. Employees who have received approval to have their work schedule reduced to less than full-time are not required to take furlough days.

For purposes of calculating employer and employee contributions to the Sacramento County Employees Retirement System (SCERS), and for purposes of calculating employee and employer contributions, service credits, and retirement benefits under SCERS, the furloughs will have no effect on the affected classifications.
