Message from the Director
I know I speak for everyone at CalHR when I say that “our most valuable assets” are the men and women who have answered the call to public service in California. This report is just one of many steps we are taking at CalHR to recognize their contributions.
Offering competitive compensation is crucial to our ability to recruit and retain a highly qualified workforce in state government, and the 2013 California State Employee Total Compensation Report reflects our commitment to better understanding our position in the labor market. By closely following the model developed by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and by tapping into its data on wages and benefits, we can now provide policy-makers with a consistent method of comparing our compensation practices with other employers in California.
We selected this path because the Bureau is a well-respected, independent source for labor market information. It has been collecting statistics on the nation’s economy since 1885, and is known for its monthly reports on inflation, employment, unemployment and pay and benefits.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to the Bureau, California’s Employment Development Department, and the State Controller’s Office for providing us with the data necessary for this report. I would also like to thank my staff in the Office of Financial Management and Economic Research for their thoughtful analysis.
Moving forward, we will continue to evaluate and refine how we use this benchmark data, as we continue to compare our total compensation package with other employers in California.
Richard Gillihan, Director

Executive Summary
California’s state government competes for its workforce with local government agencies, as well as with the private sector and the federal government, which makes it critical that the state understands how its compensation compares with other employers. 
Making simple wage comparisons, however, provides an incomplete picture; it’s similar to assessing the value of one home with another, without considering the size or location of the land.  That’s why statutes require the Department of Human Resources to compare state employee salaries and benefits with public and private sector employers. 
To meet this challenge the Department turned to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, which produces two of the nation’s most comprehensive wage and benefit surveys: the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey and the National Compensation Survey (NCS).  
When these surveys are combined with other data, the state’s “total compensation” can be compared with public sector and private sector workers employed in the same occupations.
By using the Bureau’s benchmark data and established methodology for calculating employee costs, the state can now compare its compensation practices with other employer groups in California, and provide valuable insight to current and prospective employees as well as policy-makers and the public.
Report Findings
•	In 10 occupations, the state’s total compensation was at or above the market.
•	In four occupations, the state’s total compensation was below the market.

About This Report
The 2013 California Total Compensation Report compares state employee wages and benefits with three different employer groups:
•	Local Government 
•	Private Sector
•	Federal Government 
Much of the data in this report was provided by the Bureau and the State of California’s Employment Development Department (EDD).  Wage and benefit data from two surveys produced by the Bureau were combined to find the total compensation for local government and private sector workers.  The OES survey also provided federal employee wage data for each occupation, while federal employee benefit estimates originated from a Congressional Budget Office report.
The following is covered in this report:
•	Total compensation comparisons for state workers in 220 classifications mapped to 14 occupations.
•	These occupations were selected because they are associated with the four bargaining units (6, 9, 10 and 12) with contracts expiring in 2015.
•	These occupations represent nearly 79 percent of full-time equivalent workers associated with these bargaining units (rank-and-file as well as related excluded).
In addition to comparing wages and benefits statewide, state employee total compensation is compared with data from four geographic regions in California: Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.

Comparing Data
The intent of this report is to use the best available data to compare the state’s total compensation costs with other employers in California.
This report does not define the appropriate level of compensation for state employees. 
Instead, this report compares how state workers are compensated, as a group, with other workers in the same occupation by measuring the employer’s costs for providing wages and common employee benefits.

Authority and Background
According to Government Code section 19826, state salary ranges “shall be based on the principle that like salaries shall be paid for comparable duties and responsibilities.”  The law goes on to say that when the state establishes or adjusts salaries “consideration shall be given to the prevailing rates for comparable service in other public employment and in private business” and report its findings.  The Budget Act of 2014 (Chapter 25, Statutes 2014) requires that in addition to salaries the report must include total compensation and geographic comparisons.  
Previously, the Department and Cooperative Personnel Services, Human Resources Consulting (CPS) jointly prepared the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Total Compensation Surveys.  However, because of the difficulty of obtaining comparable private sector data, the 2008 survey was limited to reporting wages and benefits for local government and federal government workers.  
The Department reevaluated its approach to producing a total compensation report, and determined that using data published by the Bureau was the best alternative.  Doing so allows the Department to compare a more extensive list of compensation practices with public sector and private sector employers.
The table on the next page compares the items collected and calculated into total compensation costs in the 2008 survey with those in the 2013 report.

Mapping of State Jobs
In 2011 Department staff began the process of mapping the state’s 3,800 classifications to 840 detailed occupations as defined by the federal government’s Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system.  These occupations are grouped into 23 major groups, 97 minor groups, 461 broad occupations and 840 detailed occupations. 
Thanks to the mapping of state classes to the SOC system, employee compensation can now be compared with data collected by the federal government.
The mapping used in this report has been reviewed by Bureau staff working on the OES survey and by the Department’s Personnel Management Division staff.
The table below provides an example of a six-digit SOC code.

About the National Compensation Survey
According to the Bureau, the National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides comprehensive measures of employee compensation, compensation cost trends, as well as the degree to which workers have access to — and participate in — employer provided benefit plans.  Bureau field economists collect and review the survey data from a national, statistically representative sample of private businesses and state and local government agencies.  Federal government, agricultural, household workers, and workers who are self-employed are not included in the survey.
The NCS data collected are used in the following reports:
•	Employment Cost Index (ECI)
•	Employee Benefit Incidence and Provisions
•	Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC)
For more information on each report, please see the Glossary.
The 2013 California State Employee Total Compensation Report uses data from the ECEC, which reports the average total compensation on an hourly basis for private sector, state and local government workers.
The ECEC reports the following employer-paid benefit costs:
•	Supplemental pay
•	Paid leave
•	Insurance
•	Retirement savings
•	Legally required benefits
The Bureau provided the Department with unpublished estimates of annual hours worked and hourly wage and benefit costs for private sector and local government workers separately, which allowed us to annualize these costs and create “benefit percentages” for each employer group.2  The table below summarizes how these percentages were created.
NCS Wage for Major Occupational Group	NCS Total Benefits for Group	Benefit Formula	Benefit %	
$40,000 / Year	$20,000 / Year	($20,000 / $40,000) = 50%	50%	
NCS Benefit Data
The Bureau provided the Department with a detailed breakout of total compensation costs from the NCS for the Pacific Region3 – with local government and private sector employee data reported separately.  The map below illustrates the five states in the Pacific Region. 
Private sector data was provided in two sets: one was filtered for large employers (500 or more employees); the other included all employers, regardless of employer size.  We used large employer data from the NCS and OES for our statewide analysis, while all regional comparisons included all private sector employers.

Federal Employee Benefit Data 
The Bureau collects and reports federal employee wages in the OES survey by detailed occupation, but it does not include federal workers in its NCS report.  To find the percentage of benefits to wages for federal workers we used data from a well-known Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report, entitled “Comparing Compensation of Federal and Private Sector Employees”.4  The CBO analysis closely followed the Bureau’s methodology for collecting federal wages and benefits.5  For its comparison, however, the CBO grouped federal workers by education level rather than occupation.  Therefore, we applied the federal benefit percentages to each occupation based upon the required education for state jobs in each occupation (see Appendix D).6  The author of the CBO report provided the Department with unpublished estimates of annual hours worked for federal workers, which allowed us to annualize these benefit percentages.7

About the OES Survey
According to the Bureau, the Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is the only comprehensive source of regularly produced occupational employment and wage rate information for the U.S. economy, as well as states, and all metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas in each state.  The survey covers all full-time and part-time wage and salary workers in nonfarm industries.  It does not include wages for the self-employed.
The OES program is a cooperative effort between the Bureau and State Workforce Agencies (SWA).  In California, the EDD is the SWA, and collects local government and private sector wages.  The Bureau collects state and federal employee wages for its portion of the survey.
All wage data in the survey is categorized using the federal SOC system.  These occupations typically include entry-level through journey level workers, and often first level supervisors.  Some occupations even include managers.  Therefore, the OES survey represents a wide-spectrum of wages for each occupation.
The survey is mailed to approximately 97,000 local government and private sector employers in California over a three year period updating any aged survey data using the ECI before combining it with current data.  The EDD draws samples from its database of employers paying into the California Unemployment Insurance (UI) fund.  
The OES data in this report was filtered for full-time workers and reflects median wages in California as of March 2013.  Private sector wages were filtered for large employers (500 or more employees) for all statewide comparisons, while regional comparisons included private sector wages from all employers.

Methodology for Combining Benefit Percentages and Wages
Prior to completing this report, we contacted the Bureau and the EDD to learn how the data is collected and calculated in the NCS and OES surveys.  This allowed us to better understand how we could combine both surveys for benchmarking purposes as well as how to collect and calculate state employee costs in a comparable manner.
To find the total compensation for a detailed occupation, the benefit percentage from the NCS or the CBO report was combined with the wage data from the corresponding employer group and detailed occupation reported in the OES survey.
Here’s how this works: Multiply the OES annual wage by the benefit percentage to find the value of benefits, and then add the annual wage from the OES survey.  This produces the total compensation for workers in the occupation. 
Using wage and benefit data in this way is a logical solution to find the median total compensation for each detailed occupation.  It also allows an employer to categorize and compare a wide spectrum of employee benefits and pay incentives and see how its compensation compares with other employers in the labor market.
OES Annual Wage for Detailed Occupational Group	Benefit %	Multiply Annual Wage by Benefit Percentage	Add OES Annual Wage and Value of Benefits	Total Compensation For Occupation	
$40,000 / Year	50%	($40,000 x 50%)  = $20,000	$40,000 + $20,000	$60,000 / Year	

Benchmark Selections
Previously published state salary surveys used “benchmark classifications” to measure compensation for each bargaining unit.  This report takes a different approach; it uses “benchmark occupations,” which is a better comparison with the two federal surveys used in this report.  
Government Code section 19826(c) and the Budget Act of 2014 mandates that a total compensation survey must be completed at least six months prior to the expiration of an MOU agreement or upon reopening negotiations under an existing MOU.  Therefore, this report includes benchmark occupations from the four bargaining units with MOU’s expiring by July 2, 2015: 
•	Unit 6 Correctional Officers
•	Unit 9 Professional Engineers
•	Unit 10 Professional Scientists
•	Unit 12 Craft and Maintenance Workers  
This report covers 220 rank-and-file and related excluded classifications associated with the four bargaining units listed above, and mapped to 14 detailed occupations categorized by SOC code.  All classifications mapped to the same benchmark occupation are compared, as a group, to the wage and benefit data for the corresponding occupation.  It was determined this was the best way to compare the competitiveness of state employee wages and benefits, because the OES and NCS surveys include all workers in an occupation – from entry level through journey level, and, in many occupations, related supervisors.  Where occupations did not include first-level supervisors, state wage and benefit data for rank-and-file employees were collected and compared separately.  For more details on the specific classes in each occupation, please see Appendix B.

The benchmark occupations used in this report were selected using the following criteria:
•	State classifications that have consistent duties and qualifications with the SOC definition.
•	State classifications in the occupation represent a significant portion of the bargaining unit.
Approximately 41,654 full-time state employees are represented in the 14 occupations included in this report.  Chart 1 illustrates the percentage of rank-and-file and related excluded employees covered in the report associated with each bargaining unit.

State Employee Wages
March 2013 OES wage data is used in this report, and includes only full-time workers.  To remain consistent, full-time state employee wage data was collected for the same month.  The median state wage for each occupation was compared with the median wage from the OES survey.  (The median is the number in the middle of a group.  For example, if there are 101 salaries listed in descending order, then the 51st salary would be the median salary.)  To do this, all salaries paid to state workers associated with the same bargaining unit and mapped to the same occupation were collected for each classification.  All “wage related” pay differentials paid to employees in each classification were collected and divided by the count of employees in the classification to get an average.  This average was then added to the base salary to calculate the wage paid to each employee.  Then the median wage for each occupation was found.
When the median state wage is compared to the three employer groups, the state pays at or above the market in eight of the 14 occupations, and below in six occupations with at least two of the employer groups.  For details, please see Appendix A.

Calculating State Employee Benefit Percentages
To calculate the percentage of benefits to wages for state workers, the methodology used by the Bureau for the NCS was closely followed.
The benefits listed below are included in the NCS, which measures the employer’s average costs for wages and benefits.  The state’s costs were collected from data provided by the State Controller’s Office (SCO) for each bargaining unit separately, and then divided by the number of employees to find an average annual benefit cost per employee.   The annual benefit cost was then divided by the annual wage for that bargaining unit to find a “benefit percentage.”  For more detailed definitions, please see the Glossary.
Wages:  The average base pay for each bargaining unit was collected.  Then qualifying pay differentials were totaled, and divided by the count of employees associated with the bargaining unit.  The average pay differential was then added to the average base pay to arrive at the average wage for each bargaining unit.
Benefits
Supplemental Pay:  This includes the employer’s costs for overtime pay, shift differentials (holiday shifts, weekend shifts, non-regular shift pay differentials), and the remainder of premium pays that are not included in the wage.
This also includes the following Non-Production Bonuses:
•	Merit Award Program (Employee Suggestion Award, Employee Recognition Award, and 25 Year Service Award)
•	Informal Time Off (ITO)
•	Flex Elect, cash in-lieu of benefits
•	Recruitment and Retention bonuses
•	Longevity bonuses

Paid Leave:  To find the employer’s cost for paid leave, all vacation/annual leave, holidays, and personal development days accrued is assumed used and totaled.  All sick leave used is then added to the total.  This number is then multiplied by an hourly rate for paid leave.
Insurance:  This includes the employer contribution for life insurance9, health insurance or CoBen, dental insurance, vision insurance, short-term disability insurance, long-term disability insurance, and administrative fees paid by the state for each plan.
Retirement and Savings:  This includes the employer contribution towards retirement plans administered by CalPERS.
Legally Required Benefits:  This includes the employer contributions to Social Security, Medicare, state and federal unemployment insurance programs, and workers compensation costs.

Wages + Benefits = Total Compensation
When the value of employee benefits is added to wages, it has a significant impact on the monthly total compensation for state employees.  The chart below illustrates the effect that benefits have for workers associated with each bargaining unit.
Chart 2: Average Monthly Total Compensation For State Employees Associated With Each Bargaining Unit
Bargaining Unit	Monthly wages	Monthly Benefits	Total Compensation

Monthly total compensation may not equal wages and benefits due to rounding.

Bargaining Unit Comparisons
Although this report compares the total compensation costs for workers employed by different employer groups, comparisons can also be made between state workers associated with different bargaining units.  The table below provides more detail, including the annual scheduled hours of work and the average annual hours worked for rank-and-file and related excluded employees associated with each bargaining unit.

For details of Benefit Percentages used for each bargaining unit, see Appendix C-1.  For definitions of Annual Scheduled Hours and Annual Hours Worked, see Glossary.

Benefit Percentages For Bargaining Units
Below are the primary benefit percentages for employees associated with each bargaining unit.  Some of the occupations associated with Units 6 and 12 used only rank-and-file classifications, so separate benefit percentages were created based exclusively on their rank-and-file employees.  One occupation associated with Unit 6 is made up entirely of supervisory classifications, so a separate benefit percentage was created for that occupation.  For details, please see Appendix C.
Bargaining Unit	Benefit Percentages	
Unit 6	91.8%	
Unit 9	61.9%	
Unit 10	57.2%	
Unit 12	71.4%	

Survey Findings: Total Compensation
On the next two pages the state’s total compensation for each occupation is compared with the combined OES, NCS and CBO data.  There is a “Comparison to State of CA” column, which displays the percentage difference between the state’s median total compensation for each occupation and the corresponding employer group.  A negative percentage indicates that the state’s compensation is below that employer group.

State Compensation At or Above Market 
State total compensation was at or above the market in 10 of the 14 occupations.  The table below compares the median total compensation for state government workers with workers employed by each employer group.  A positive percentage indicates the state’s median total compensation is above the median total compensation for that employer group.  A negative percentage indicates that the state government’s compensation would need to increase by that percentage to equal the employer group in that column.
Table 3: Occupations Where State Compensation Is At Or Above The Market
SOC Code	Occupation Title	Local Govt.	Private Sector	Federal Govt.

A dash (–) is used where data is not available.  *According to the OES employment estimate, more epidemiologists work for local government than large private sector employers (500+ employees), so the Epidemiologist occupation was included with this group of state occupations compensated at or above the market.  For a list of the employment estimates for each occupation, please see Appendix D-4.

State Compensation Below Market
State total compensation was below the market in four of the 14 occupations.  The table below compares the median total compensation for state government workers with workers employed by each employer group.  A negative percentage indicates that the state government’s median compensation would need to increase by that percentage to equal the employer group in that column.  A positive percentage indicates the state’s median total compensation is above the median total compensation for that employer group.

Bargaining Units in Detail
Since 1982, rank-and-file state employees in California have been divided into 21 units based upon the type of work they perform, and are covered by collective bargaining rules outlined in the Ralph C. Dills Act.  Each bargaining unit is represented by a union that negotiates employee wages, benefits, hours of work, and other terms and conditions of employment through a Memorandum of Understanding, also called an MOU.  
This report includes benchmark occupations from four of these bargaining units (6, 9, 10 and 12).  The state will be renegotiating MOUs with these bargaining units in 2015.  On the following pages are brief descriptions of each bargaining unit as well as a description of each occupation from the federal SOC system.  The EDD’s data estimating future job growth in California is also displayed for each occupation, which is one indication of labor market demand.11  For a detailed list of classifications used for each benchmark occupation, please see Appendix B.
Bargaining Unit 6: Corrections
Bargaining Unit 9: Professional Engineers
Bargaining Unit 10: Professional Scientists 
Bargaining Unit 12: Craft and Maintenance

Bargaining Unit 6
There are more than 26,900 full-time equivalent rank-and-file and related excluded employees associated with Bargaining Unit 6.  This group is made up almost entirely of peace officers, and consists of more than 50 classifications, which have been mapped to 14 occupations.  Three of these occupations were selected for this report based upon the strength of their match to the SOC description and the number of state employees in the occupation.  Together, the three occupations include 32 classifications, consisting of both rank-and-file and related excluded employees.  They account for approximately 93 percent of the full-time equivalent employees associated with Unit 6.
Occupations Examined for Bargaining Unit 6
•	Correctional Officers – Rank-and-File Only
•	Supervising Correctional Officers – Supervisors Only

Geographic Comparisons
When comparing compensation, it is important to recognize that wages can vary significantly between geographic regions.  The OES survey demonstrates this, and the federal government has a policy of paying its white-collar employees more to work in four regions of California than it does in the rest of the state.  (For details, please see Appendix D.)  Therefore, the EDD was asked to provide a break-out of OES surveyed wages for the same regions in California:
•	Sacramento Area
•	Greater Los Angeles Area
•	San Francisco Bay Area
•	San Diego County

Where State Employees Work
Although the Sacramento region is home to the greatest concentration of state workers, approximately 65 percent are employed elsewhere in California.  The table below illustrates the percentage of state employees associated with each bargaining unit employed in each region.

State Benefits Not Included In Total Compensation
The NCS captures the employer’s costs for most benefits provided to employees.  However, there are some benefits the state offers which are not included in the NCS.  There are other benefits the state does not contribute to but offers on a voluntary basis.  In this section, many of these benefits are briefly described.
Employee Assistance Program
All active state employees and their dependents are eligible to participate in the Employee Assistance Program, which is designed to help employees and their dependents cope with emotional health, family, and other personal problems.  All services are confidential, and at no cost to the employee.  A qualified intake representative assesses needs and connects or refers the caller to a professional who can help with marriage, family and relationships issues; stress and anxiety; grief and loss; alcohol and drug dependency; and other emotional health issues.  Clinical services are provided face-to-face, over the phone, or through web-based video.
EAP also features services to help balance work and life and take care of all kinds of chores and challenges.  Telephonic consultations are available for childcare and eldercare assistance; financial services; legal services; identity theft recovery services, pre-retirement services; and daily living services.
State Defined Contribution Program: Savings Plus
Through Savings Plus, most state employees may establish and manage 401(k) and 457 plans.  In 2013, they were allowed to save up to $17,500 in each plan ($35,000 combined), if under 50.  Savings Plus allows employees to save for their retirement on both a before-tax basis and after-tax basis with the designated Roth feature.
Because the state does not contribute to these accounts, it does not affect state employee total compensation costs.  However, the program still provides employees with a valuable benefit by offering a well-diversified mix of investment funds with low fees. 
License and Professional Association Membership
Depending upon bargaining unit agreement, the state may pay for employees to retain professional licenses or reimburse employees for membership in job-related professional associations.  For example, the state allows Departments to reimburse state scientists $100 dollars a year to belong to professional societies.
Reimbursement Accounts
The Flex Elect program offers employees a voluntary pre-tax reimbursement account for out-of-pocket medical and dependent care expenses.
Long Term Care
Long Term Care insurance helps protect assets and lifestyle against the cost of long-term care services not covered by health insurance, which may be needed due to a chronic illness, frailty of old age, or a serious accident.  Employees and eligible dependents may purchase this insurance through CalPERS.
Transportation Benefits
There are two transportation-related benefits the state offers to employees.  The first is pre-tax parking, which allows employees to have their taxable income reduced by a specific dollar amount for work-related parking fees.  The other benefit is the Transit and Vanpool Incentive program, where employees receive a transit subsidy of 75 percent of the total transportation cost per month, up to a maximum of $65.  Similarly, Vanpool riders in a vanpool may receive reimbursement of 75 percent of their total transportation cost, up to a maximum of $65.  The vanpool coordinator/driver for each vanpool receives a reimbursement amount of $100 per month.
California Works Well 
The California Works Well Wellness Program is designed to reduce sickness-related absenteeism and increase employee productivity, with the long-term goal of reducing overall health care costs.  The program informs employees about chronic disease risk-factors and creates opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating at work, along with other interventions such as smoking cessation, weight management, and biometric screenings.  Wellness programs are managed and offered independently at each Department.
Uniform/Equipment Allowance
Depending upon the bargaining unit, some state employees receive an allowance or reimbursement for uniforms and/or equipment.
Training and Professional Development
The Statewide Learning and Performance Management (SLPM) program at the Department of Human Resources provides classroom and virtual training for state employees.  This training includes competency based training, soft skills training, and leadership training.  The SLPM also provide leadership and guidance to departments on training and professional development.
Flexible Schedules
The state offers flexible schedules to many of its workers, often in the form of a formal Alternate Work Week Schedule (AWWS).  This schedule allows employees and supervisors to mutually agree upon a varied distribution of their normal work hours.  It does not change the number of hours worked, but simply allows each individual the flexibility to rearrange their work schedule to better meet their personal needs while also considering the needs of the office.

Teleworking
In some offices, the state encourages the use of teleworking (working from home) as a management work option.  Appropriately planned and managed, telework can benefit managers, employees, and customers of the State of California.  
Jury Duty Leave
State employees called for jury duty are granted leave time during their service.  Employees are not entitled to juror pay but are permitted to keep mileage payments.
Bereavement Leave 
State employees may receive up to three days of leave following the death of a family member or person in the employee's household.  
Poll Worker Leave
Employees may be granted paid time off for public service as a member of a Precinct Election Board.  (Gov. Code § 19844.7)
Paid Leave For Promotional Exams/Promotional Interviews
State employees may be granted leave time to participate in civil-service examinations and attend interviews.  (Gov. Code §19991)
Retiree Health Insurance (Other Post-Employment Benefits)
State employees, along with qualifying dependents, are eligible for comprehensive health insurance coverage once they retire with sufficient years of state service.  The state contributed, on average, $9,570 for each retiree’s health insurance premium in fiscal year 2013-14.  See Appendix D for more details.

Conclusion
According to the results of the 2013 Total Compensation Report:
•	State employees working in 10 occupations received total compensation at or above the market
•	State employees working in four occupations received total compensation below the market
Thanks to the mapping of classifications to the federal SOC system, the Department can now use the Bureau’s established methodology for calculating employee costs and compare it with benchmark data.  This provides the state with several new opportunities:
•	To systematically categorize and measure a wide spectrum of employee benefits and pay incentives 
•	To assess the competitiveness of its compensation practices with other employers in the labor market
•	To compare compensation practices between employees in different bargaining units
•	To educate current and prospective employees about its compensation practices
•	To analyze the growth of its compensation costs with other employers
•	To inform policy-makers and the public

Glossary of Terms
Definitions originated from the Bureau, the EDD or CalHR.
Term	Definition	
Annual Hours Worked	The Bureau calculates Annual Hours Worked as follows: Add Annual Scheduled Hours plus any overtime hours worked during the year, and then subtract all vacation, holiday and personal leave hours accrued during the year as well as sick leave hours used during the year.	
Annual Leave	Annual Leave is a consolidated leave plan.  Consolidated leave plans provide a single amount of time off for workers to use for any of a number of purposes, such as vacation, illness, and personal business.  Upon separation or retirement, state employees are compensated for any unused hours.	
Annual Scheduled Hours	This is the total number of hours in a year that workers are scheduled to work.  Most full-time workers are scheduled to work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, which equates to 2,080 annual scheduled hours.	
Bargaining Units	A group of employees working in similar classifications or occupations represented by a union for bargaining purposes.	
Base Salary	Wages paid for work performed during a unit of time, such as monthly.  Base salary does not include overtime or incentive pay.	
Bureau	The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is part of the Department of Labor and is the principal fact-finding agency for the federal government in the broad field of labor economics and statistics.	
CB/ID	Collective Bargaining Identifier (CB/ID) refers to a three‐digit code that is assigned to each job classification. CB/ID designates if a classification is rank-and-file (R), managerial (M), supervisory (S), confidential (C), exempt/excluded (E) or unassigned (U); as well as the collective bargaining unit the classification is aligned to, if applicable. CB/IDs for Bargaining Unit 10 and its related excluded employees look like this: R10, M10, S10, C10, E10, and U10.	
Defined Benefit Retirement Plan 	Defined benefit pension plans provide employees with guaranteed retirement benefits based on benefit formulas.  A participant’s retirement age, length of service and preretirement earnings may affect the benefits received.	
Defined Contribution Retirement Plan 	Defined contribution plans are retirement plans that specify the level of employer contributions and place those contributions into individual employee accounts.  Under this type of plan, the employee contributes a predetermined portion of the employee’s earnings (usually pretax) to an individual account, all or part of which is matched by the employer.	
Disability Insurance	Disability insurance pays part of a workers wages if they have to stop working because of a non-work-related illness or injury. 	
Employee Benefit Incidence and Provisions	The Bureau collects and publishes data from the National Compensation Survey the incidence (access to and participation in) employer-provided benefits as well as key provisions of employee benefit plans, such as health care, retirement plan coverage, life insurance, and paid leave.	
ECEC	The Employer Cost for Employee Compensation is a total compensation report (wages and benefits) produced by the Bureau from the National Compensation Survey.  The ECEC series shows employer costs per hour worked for wages and salaries and individual benefits.	
ECI	The Employer Cost Index (ECI) is a measure of the change in the cost of labor, independent of the influence of employment shifts among occupations and industry categories.  The total compensation series includes changes in wages and salaries and in employer costs for employee benefits.	
EDD	The Employment Development Department administers the state’s payroll tax program and offers a variety of services to Californians under the Job Service, Unemployment Insurance (UI), State Disability Insurance (SDI), Workforce Investment, and Labor Market Information programs.	
Employee Merit Awards	There are four merit awards given to qualifying state employees in California.  1) Employee Suggestion Program (ESP) – Employees formally submit their ideas to reduce or eliminate state expenditures or improve the safety or the operation of the state.  2) Medal of Valor (MOV) - The highest honor California bestows upon its public servants.  3) Superior Accomplishment Award (SAA) – Departments may award employees for a job performance resulting in exceptional contribution to improving state government.  4) The 25 Year/Retirement Service Award –Employees with 25 years of state service and retiring employees with 25 years or more of state service may receive a memento.  	
Employer pick-up of Employee Retirement Contribution	The rate an employer pays on behalf of the employee (to cover part or the employee’s entire share) to a retirement plan.	
Flex Elect 	The State of California’s Flex Elect program offers two types of employee benefits: pre-tax reimbursement accounts for out-of-pocket medical and dependent care expenses, and Cash Options in lieu of receiving state-sponsored health and/or dental benefits. 	
Health, Dental and Vision	Employer contributions made to health, dental and/or vision insurance premiums for an employee.	
Holiday Bonus	Payment to employees as a holiday gift.  For State of California employees, in 2013, the Governor granted employees four hours of paid Informal Time Off leave (often called ITO) to use on either Christmas Eve or New Year’s Eve.  ITO was calculated as a Holiday Bonus.	
Holiday Leave	Holidays are days off from work on days of special religious, cultural, social, or patriotic significance on which work and business ordinarily cease.  Employees may receive either full or partial pay for holidays.	
Holiday Premium Pay	Payment for working a designated holiday; usually an add-on to a base rate.	
Legally Required Benefits	Employer contributions made to legally require benefits for an employee, such as Social Security and Medicare.  Most state employees participate in these programs.  However, most peace officers, firefighters and safety employees do not participate in Social Security or Medicare.	
Life Insurance	An insurance plan that provides a lump-sum payment to a designated beneficiary or beneficiaries of deceased employees.	
Longevity Pay	Payment to an employee based on seniority or length of service with an employer.	
Long-Term Disability	Long-term disability plans provide a monthly benefit to eligible employees who, because of a non-work-related illness or injury, are unable to work for an extended length of time.  Benefits usually are paid as a fixed percentage of pre-disability earnings, up to a set limit. 	
Mean	The mean is the arithmetic average of a group of numbers.	
Median	The median is the midpoint of a group of numbers.	
NCS	The National Compensation Survey is a detailed compensation survey conducted by the Bureau.  The NCS produces three separate reports: the Employment Cost Index, the Employee Benefit Incidence and Provisions, and the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation.	
Occupation	Workers are classified into occupational categories based upon work performed, skills, education, training, and credentials.	
OES	The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) Survey is a labor market survey of private sector, local and state government and federal government wages.  The survey is conducted jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and State Workforce Agencies, such as the California Employment Development Department.	
 OPEB	Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) are benefits other than pensions received in retirement.  OPEB generally takes the form of health insurance and dental, vision, prescription, or other healthcare benefits provided to eligible retirees, including, in some cases, their beneficiaries.  It may also include some types of life insurance, legal services, and other benefits. 	
Overtime Pay	Payment for work over and above the employee's regular pay in excess of a specified number of hours per day or per week.	
Paid Leave	Leave from work (or pay in lieu of time off) provided on an annual basis and normally taken in blocks of days or weeks by an employee.  Vacation, sick and holiday paid leave are the most common.	
Personal Leave	Personal leave is a general-purpose leave benefit, used for reasons important to the individual employee, but not otherwise provided by other forms of leave.  Some employers place restrictions on the purposes for which personal leave may be used.  State employees receive Personal Development Days (PDD) which falls into this category.	
Private Sector	The private sector is comprised of for-profit and not-for-profit businesses and organizations.  By contrast, the public sector is made up of government employers.	
Retirement Plans	Retirement plans are classified as either defined benefit or defined contribution plans.  Defined benefit plans determine payments according to a fixed formula based on salary, years of service, and age. Defined contribution plans determine the value of individual accounts on the basis of the amount of money contributed and the rate of return on the money invested.	
Related Excluded	Employees in classifications that do not have collective bargaining rights under the Ralph C. Dills Act, but whose job duties are related to rank-and-file employees in a bargaining unit.  These employees are generally designated managerial, confidential, and supervisory.	
Retirement, Employer Contribution	Employer contributions made to retirement plans for an employee.	
Shift Differential	Payment over and above an employee's regular pay for working a nonstandard shift, typically nights and weekends.	
Sick Leave	Employer paid time-off offered to employees to compensate for time away from work while sick or injured.	
Short-Term Disability	Short-term disability plans provide benefits for non-work-related illnesses or accidents on a per-disability basis, typically for a 6-month to 12-month period.	
SOC	Standard Occupational Categorization (SOC) system is a list of defined occupations maintained by the federal government’s Office of Management and Budget.  The 2010 SOC system contains 840 detailed occupations.	
State Classification	A defined state job.  The State of California maintains definitions and salaries for approximately 3,800 classifications.	
Supplemental Pay	Premium pay for overtime and work on weekends and holidays; shift differential pay; and nonwage cash payments.  It also includes Non-Production Bonuses, such as any payment that is over and above the employee's regular pay and is not directly related to output of an employee or group	
Unemployment Insurance	A joint Federal-State program, established in 1935 under the Social Security Act, under which State administered funds obtained through payroll taxes provide payments to eligible unemployed persons for specified periods of time.  Levels of benefits and tax rates are established by each State.	
Vacation Leave	Vacations are leave from work (or pay in lieu of time off) provided on an annual basis and normally taken in blocks of days or weeks.  Paid vacations commonly are granted to employees only after they meet specified service requirements.  The amount of vacation leave received each year usually varies with the length of service.  Vacation time off normally is paid at full pay or partial pay, or it may be a percentage of employee earnings.	
Value of Paid Leave	Vacation, annual leave, holiday, and other employer paid leave hours accrued (and assumed used) are added to sick leave hours used during the year.  This number is multiplied by an hourly rate for paid leave to find the annual cost to the employer.	
Wage – OES	A wage includes commission, tips, deadheading pay, guaranteed pay, on‐call pay, hazard pay, incentive pay, piece rate, portal‐to‐portal pay, production bonuses, and cost‐of‐living allowances.	
Wage - NCS	Same as above only longevity and recruitment and retention bonuses are not included in the wage.	
Weekend Premium Pay	Payment over and above an employee's regular pay for working on a Saturday, Sunday, or other non-scheduled workday.	
Workers Compensation	Workers' compensation provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured in the course of employment.  This is a legally required benefit paid by the employer.

Endnotes
1. The 2008 Survey included 48 local government agencies and the federal government.   The 2008 Survey did not include comparisons with private sector employers.  The OES survey used in this report includes wage data from 97,000 local government and private sector employers, as well as federal government wages. 
2. The Bureau was able to provide estimates for wages, benefits and annual hours worked for most major occupational groups for the private sector; however, local government sample data was insufficient for it to produce estimates for several major occupational groups so when this was the case the local government high level or “All Worker” benefit percentage were used instead.
3. For a list of all localities: “NCS Published Areas, National Compensation Survey- Wages” Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 16, 2011.
4. “Comparing the Compensation of Federal and Private Sector Employees,” Congressional Budget Office, January 2012.
5. The CBO was able to collect and compare federal employee wages and benefits using the Bureau’s methodology with a few exceptions. Life and disability insurance for federal employees could not be included in the CBO’s federal benefit estimate, but “account(s) for a small portion of compensation, on average,” according to CBO analyst Justin Falk. 
Justin Falk, “Comparing Benefits and Total Compensation in the Federal Government and the Private Sector,” Congressional Budget Office January 2012.
The CBO was also unable to obtain Supplemental Pay (bonuses and overtime) separate from wages for federal workers.  To compensate for this, the Department applied the State’s Supplemental Pay Percentage for each bargaining unit to Federal Benefit Percentages at the occupational level.
Additionally, the CBO report included costs for retiree health for federal workers.  Because the NCS/ECEC does not include a cost for retiree health, we removed this cost ($2.20/hr.) from the hourly federal benefit total.  
6. When state classifications in an occupation had different levels of education required, we calculated the percentage of state workers with each education requirement (for example, 60 percent bachelor’s degree, and 40 percent master’s degree) and assumed the same would be true for federal workers in the same occupation.
7. Estimate of annual hours worked for federal employees by education level provided by Justin Falk, Congressional Budget Office, September 8, 2014.
8. The NCS methodology was closely followed.  However, the NCS/ECEC data used in this report was filtered for full-time workers only, while the state employee wage and benefit data used to calculate the state employee benefit percentages included all workers associated with each bargaining unit, regardless of time-base.
9. The state pays for a Group Term Life Insurance policy for Managers, Supervisors and Excluded employees.  The cost for these employees was included whenever they were part of an occupation.  However, all state employees enrolled in a CalPERS retirement plan are automatically covered in a Group Term Life Insurance plan, but those policies are funded through retirement contributions. 
10. Unit 6 rank-and-file employees are scheduled to work 2,130 hours a year, while related supervisory and managerial employees are scheduled to 2,080 hours a year.  The weighted average is 2,123 hours a year for the entire group.
11. Projected growth of jobs is between 2012-2022, “Projections of Employment by Industry and Occupation” .

Geographic Differences: Federal Locality Pay
The federal government recognizes that wages and the cost of living are higher in four geographic regions in California, and pays its employees more to work there than other communities in the state.  Although federal employees earn more in Sacramento than in rural communities, the majority of federal employees are paid even more in the other three regions.

The General Schedule (GS) classification and pay system covers the majority of civilian white-collar Federal employees (about 1.5 million worldwide) in professional, technical, administrative, and clerical positions. Different wage rates apply to federal blue-collar workers.

Size of Groups In Labor Market
This report compares the total compensation for state workers with federal and local government workers, as well as workers at large private sector firms (employing 500 or more workers).  EDD also produces a Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, which estimates the number of workers for these employer groups2.  The table below compares the number of workers in each group with 15 million Californians working in nonfarm jobs in 20133.

Estimated OPEB Costs By Employer Group
Retiree health insurance coverage is a valuable benefit offered to some employees, but it is not included in the NCS.  This benefit is often called Other Post-Employment Benefits, or OPEB.  Government employers typically offer OPEB, while private sector employers typically do not9.  Because the NCS does not collect or report employer costs for retiree health, it could not be included in the total compensation comparison.
However, using different sources of data, we produced an estimated cost for government employer groups offering this benefit in California, which is displayed in the table below.  The local government estimated cost is based upon data from 399 agencies participating in the California Employer’s Retiree Benefit Trust Fund managed by CalPERS.  The state’s estimated cost is based upon the 2013 OPEB Actuarial Valuation produced for the State Controller’s Office10.  The federal government’s estimated cost is based upon the CBO report11.
Estimated Average Annual OPEB Costs Per Retiree for Government Employers in California in 2013-14
Employer	Avg. Annual Employer Cost Per Retiree Receiving OPEB	
Local Government	$6,861	
State Government	$9,570	
Federal Government	$7,886	
9 According to the NCS, nationwide 71 percent of state and local government workers have access to retire health prior to age 65.  By contrast, only 38 percent of workers at large private sector firms have access to retiree health prior to age 65.  Source: Table 42. Health-related benefits: Access, National Compensation Survey, March 2013
10 Source: State of California Retiree Health Benefits Program, GASB Nos. 43 and 45 Actuarial Valuation Report, as of June 30, 2013. pgs. 16 and 17.
11 According to the CBO Working Paper Comparing Benefits and Total Compensation in the Federal Government and the Private Sector, the Federal Government was spending $6,776 per retiree for OPEB in 2010.  Health insurance premium costs  had increased 16.4 percent  for the Federal Government by 2013,  so we revised the estimate to $7,885.69 per retiree in 2013.
