A payroll status update from Irene Green, Vice President for Bargaining
December is here and we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our retroactive pay and our general salary increase, along with the other economic wins we achieved in our new contract.
Local 1000 has spoken with CalHR recently and confirmed that their work with SCO continues to fulfill the contract terms of the state bargaining units which ratified a new contract this year—including the nine bargaining units represented by Local 1000.
Although not much has changed since our initial communication in November, this is what we currently know.
Additional Steward MOU Training
We wanted to bring to your attention an important update regarding the 2023 MOU Training for SEIU Local 1000 Job Stewards. An additional training session has been scheduled for Dec. 14, 2023, from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m., to accommodate those who have not yet attended.
As a reminder, attendance at a 2023 MOU Training is mandatory to maintain certification as an SEIU Local 1000 Steward.

Know Your Rights: Holiday Leaves
Your SEIU Local 1000 union contract contains hundreds of articles governing your hard-earned rights, including wages, benefits, and working conditions. This overview explains how our 96,000 represented state workers are entitled to 11 observed holidays and how you’re paid for those holidays, should you be required to work on one of those days.
Premium Holidays
Employees who work any of these six holidays will be paid at 1.5 times their regular rate of pay and will also earn up to 8 hours of holiday credit.
