Dear Bargaining Unit 1 Employees,
On Monday, August 11th, the State Personnel Board (SPB) approved CalHR’s proposal to consolidate multiple department-specific analyst classifications into a single, streamlined “Generalist” classification series. This marks a major milestone in a process we have been tracking and engaging in for over a year.
The approved proposal includes:
- Retitling and revising the current statewide Staff Services Analyst (SSA), Associate Governmental Program Analyst (AGPA), and Staff Services Manager (SSM) classifications.
- Moving employees from certain department-specific classifications into these updated statewide classifications.
- Abolishing old classifications once employees have been moved.
- Broadening minimum qualifications to make it easier for candidates to apply and move between departments.
- Creating two new higher-level analyst classifications to allow for more career growth without requiring a supervisory title.
CalHR has indicated that these changes are anticipated to take effect in January 2026. Between now and then, your Unit 1 Analyst Reclass Team will continue to review the implementation process to ensure no harm is done to employees’ pay, benefits, seniority, or career progression.
While SPB’s approval sets the framework, SEIU Local 1000 will continue to advocate for fair pay, job security, and protections for every impacted employee as the State moves toward implementation.
Your voice matters, and we are here to support you every step of the way. Our commitment to your well-being and success remains unwavering. If you have questions, visit our Unit 1 webpage or email us at [email protected].
