Compensation Plus

​A Summary of Benefits for Managers, Supervisors, Confidential, and Excluded Employees

CalHR sets the salaries and determines terms and conditions of employment (such as vacation and sick leave) and other benefits for excluded employees.

This information has been prepared to give you a brief overview of the many benefits and programs administered by CalHR for excluded employees. It is not intended to be the only resource to be used, but rather a general description of the benefits and programs available to excluded employees.

The collective bargaining process is fluid and changes may subsequently be agreed to which could alter this information.
