Pay Letter Issued, Upcoming GOTV

Dear State Scientist,

We are one step closer to receiving new pay raises! On Wednesday, CalHR issued Pay Letter 24-31 instructing the State Controller’s Office (SCO) to issue retroactive pay and the pay raises we won in our new contract!

In a recent Sacramento Bee article titled “California approved state workers’ contracts, when will employees see pay bumps?,” the SCO indicated that rank-and-file Bargaining Unit 10 scientists should expect to see our salary adjustments reflected beginning October 30, 2024. CalHR recently confirmed to CAPS-UAW that separate checks reflecting pay increases retroactive to July 1, 2024 and through September 30, 2024 should be issued in October. 

Your CAPS Bargaining Committee will be in contact with CalHR and the SCO to monitor their progress in processing the increases to our compensation

The pay letter covers the Special Salary Adjustments (SSAs) we won through negotiations (effective 07/01/2024), along with the following pay differentials:

  • Longevity Pay (new, effective retroactive to 07/01/2024)
  • Geographic Pay (new, effective retroactive to 07/01/2024)
  • Fire Mission Pay (new, effective 10/01/2024)
  • Certification Credential Pay for Industrial Hygienists at DIR (new, effective 10/01/2024)
  • Bilingual Pay (increases effective 07/01/2024) 
  • Educational Pay differential (improvements effective 10/01/2024). 

You can read a copy of Pay Letter 24-31 here. The pay scales found on CalHR’s website should be updated the beginning of November.
