Rewarding Performance
A limited, yet significant amount of authority has been granted to Courts management by the Judicial Council for using one-time turnover savings (1xTS) and ongoing turnover savings (OTS) for certain types of incentive awards and salary increases. These memorandums give detailed information about this authority.
Authority for Incentive and Bonus Rewards
Authority for "Hot-Spot" Salary Increases
Process to request Ongoing Turnover Savings
These view-only templates may be copied by a manager or supervisor to create documentation for an employee incentive award and/or administrative salary increase (ASI) AFTER the following steps have been taken:
Consultation with the applicable supervisory line of management for approval; and
Consultation with a member of the HR Department to verify policy compliance; and
Consultation with the Finance Department to calculate fiscal impacts before settling on the final dollar amount.
Submitting a completed memorandum to HR using these templates assumes the submitter has already completed the above steps.
Incentive and bonus awards for performance and other reasons may be submitted for consideration at any time. Requests for performance-based Administrative Salary Increases (ASIs) are solicited by Court Level Administrators during the last quarter of the fiscal year. Hot-spot ASIs may be submitted for consideration at any time.
The following HRIS Action Reasons will be used, depending on the approved reason for granting the increase:
ASI - Performance - This will be used for performance raise requests.
Market Hot-Spot Increase - This will be used for Hot Spot raises
ASI - Exec Director Approval - will be a catch-all for all other raise requests
