Employee Compensation
Employee compensation is set annually by the Board (effective July 1st for General Employees and January 1st for the General Manager). The General Manager is a salaried employee and is not eligible for overtime pay, all other employees are hourly employees and are eligible for overtime pay.
All employees receive benefits that include:
-
District paid health, dental and life insurance for themselves and one dependent (the cost of additional dependents is paid by the employee); this is non-taxable compensation.
-
Current members of CalPERS or an agency with CalPERS will be enrolled in the 2% @ 60 retirement program and contribute 5% of salary to CalPERS; the District pays the employer rate of 8.081% and the member contribution rate of 2% for a total of 15.081%.
-
New members who are not a member of any California public retirement system before January 1, 2013 will be enrolled in the 2% @62 retirement program and contribute 6.75% of salary to CalPERS; the District pays the employer rate of 6.985%
-
2 weeks of vacation after 1 year of service; 3 weeks of vacation after 5 years of service and 4 weeks of vacation after 15 years of service; this is taxable compensation.
-
11 paid holidays, plus 1 floating holiday of the employee's choice; this is taxable compensation
The General Manager’s compensation includes the use of a District vehicle for commuting from/to her residence as well as one additional week of vacation in addition to the two weeks that all employees would normally accrue based upon a similar length of service; these benefits are taxable compensation.
Special compensation is paid to the Operations Manager, Water Distribution Operator III and Water Distribution Operator II related to Standby Pay, Holiday Pay, Uniform Allowance and District-Provided Housing. The Uniform Allowance and Holiday Pay are taxable compensation and reported to CalPERS for purposes of determining total compensation. Overtime pay is taxable, but it is not reportable to CalPERS for total compensation determination. Additionally, for security and response time purposes, Distribution Worker III resides at a residence located on District property; the value of this benefit is non-taxable to the employee and is not used in determining total CalPERS compensation.
