The Superior Court provides a comprehensive package of employee benefits. Our programs include medical, dental and vision insurance, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, term life insurance, long term disability and accident insurance and other employee benefits. The court makes considerable contributions to health and retirement benefits on behalf of the employees.
The court also provides paid time-off:
- Paid Holidays – Full-time court employees receive 14 paid holidays
- Paid Sick Leave – Full-time court employees accrue 12 paid sick days per year
- Paid Vacation - Accrual based on years of service; 0-2 = 10 days per year, 2-5 = 12 days, 5-10 = 15 days, 15-20 = 20 days, 20-25 earn 21.5, and employees with 25 years of service earn 25 per year
Health Insurance: The court offers three levels of medical coverage for employees to elect. For full-time employees the court pays 100% of the employee medical, dental and vision premiums and contributes a substantial amount towards dependent(s) coverage. Employees who waive court-sponsored medical insurance and who provide proof of other group medical insurance are eligible to receive cash in-lieu benefit. The court pays a pro-rated percent of the cost based on hours worked for part-time employees.
Life Insurance: The court gives you the ability to help financially protect your family/beneficiaries with Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance. You have the option to supplement the court-paid $15,000 policy with life insurance for family members and additional coverage for yourself through Voluntary Life Insurance.
Retirement: The court pays a considerable bi-weekly contribution on behalf of the employee to California Public Employee Retirement System (CALPERS). All regular employees are required to enroll in CALPERS and contribute 7.25% bi-weekly for the defined benefit plan [2% at age 62].
Deferred Compensation: The court offers employees the ability to participate in 457 deferred-compensation plan.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP): The court provides employees with support for a wide variety of challenges through EAP. Benefits include up to three (3) sessions, every sick (6) months of face-to-face confidential counseling.
