Butte County Superior Court is located in beautiful Northern California, where the valley floor meets the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains, approximately 1.5 hours north of Sacramento.

Sick Leave: Employees accrue 12 days of paid sick leve per year with an acrrual rate of 3.692 hours of paid sick leave per bi-weekly pay period. Accrual at full-time is 96 hours per year with no cap on sick leave.
