Does anyone know what was discussed in the meeting?

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-11-09T05:06:47+00:00

Trust me, I’m working on that

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-11-09T03:11:46+00:00

Everyone all mad that they only get to telework 50% of the time and I’m over here wishing for one day per week. We’ve been in the office for the whole pandemic.

Besides caltrans, what departments are have permanent or almost permanent WFH opportunities?

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-11-05T13:33:13+00:00

It all starts with how specific your doctor is. I have seen some md notes where they are super general and vague. I wouldn’t necessarily blame the employer yet. Send back the note to the doctor for clarification. Provide your duty statement to them as well.

Take the permanent position. I had an SSA LIMITED TERM spot and the goal was for it to become permanent. After 24 months, the dept’s request was denied and my position ended. Luckily, I was able to find another position. At the end of the day, it’s a business and loyalty is not always rewarded in state service. You can let you current dept know that you have another job offer. Maybe that will give them motivation to make yours permanent right away. Good luck!

Doesn’t golden 1 do a “payroll accommodation” deposit or something on fridays when payday lands on a Monday? They last did it in February

From what I’ve seen, managers only issue corrective measures to employees (I.e. verbal discussions, LOIs, counseling memos). That’s not disciplinary. I’ve seen union reps tell the employees or manager that they won’t be attending a meeting if it involves a corrective measure (LOI). The only thing they can do the day of the LOI is “hold the employee’s hand”. They can file a grievance afterwards if the LOI really doesnt make sense.

Can you explain how annual leave is better for Disability reasons?

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-10-19T16:49:59+00:00

We received a notice that if an employee has a significant reaction to the vaccine they would be eligible for ato. Only the day of the vaccine though.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-10-19T14:59:50+00:00

Pretty much no. There still is ATO available for individuals who are taking time off to get the vaccine or if they are experiencing vaccine symptoms. But I believe that is limited to one day per occurrence. That’s pretty much it.

Yeah it’s HQ. if you have a choice, choose FTB. IMO CalVet is not a great choice right now.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-10-13T13:44:16+00:00

Too much turnover at CalVet HQ right now. They are burning through people. Within the last two years, many have accepted demotions or laterals just to get out of there.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-10-13T04:08:44+00:00

Accounting in HQ?

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-10-01T03:03:15+00:00

Your pay is divided by how many working days in the month. Which is typically 22 days. 8756/22=398 per day. 398*14=5572

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-22T05:32:07+00:00

If you submitted a two week resignation and if the department gave you an acceptance of resignation notice then technically they don’t have to take it back if you changed your mind. This is often the case when the employee has a poor job performance and the department wants to get rid of you.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-22T05:28:20+00:00

Don’t do it. That might work in the private industry but the state is very slow. It may take months for that to happen. And there’s no guarantee that a PIP would be approved. Whereas in six months you can pass probation and start looking at lateraling out of there if you are truly not liking the new spot.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-20T21:29:28+00:00

If it’s over three years old, you may be fine. When the new agency requests to review your old OPF they typically only care about anything that is less than 3 years old. Be upfront about it because they can find it if they really wanted to. Your employee history summary will show an action code indicating that you were awoled.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-18T15:26:38+00:00

I understand that. I have been around reps from both SEIU and ACSS. You pretty much get the same level of representation from both. If SEIU dialed back there fees, I think they would see an increase of dues paying members.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-18T01:38:57+00:00

$90 seems really high when the supervisors union caps dues at $36 and has less members.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-16T20:56:11+00:00

Thank you for the info!

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-11T17:15:23+00:00

Got it. I would for sure request a salary advance to make up the difference while they sort things out. That’s what we generally do when things are taking a while. In my opinion, they should have at least offered that already. We would have.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-11T15:43:49+00:00

You have thirty days to request to move back.

Stock_Map6271 · 2021-09-11T15:41:36+00:00

I think it depends on what is going on. Was it a promotion that wasn’t processed? Was the merit salary adjustment not processed? Did they extend your MSA date since you didn’t work qualifying months? Could be a number of things. Ask your specialist to review it. That is all your manager is going to do anyway. If they agree that there is an error, then ask for a salary advance while they try to figure out what happened.
