Class-Action 3rd Level Grievance Notice
CCPOA Grievance Coordinator Jo Anne Billhimer has filed a class action third level grievance concerning withholding of Senior Peace Officer pay from Supervisors. When an Officer reaches his or her eighteenth year of service he or she is awarded a one percent salary increase, however when the Officer promotes to a supervisor position the state takes away the one percent. The reason the State gives for the reduction in benefit is that it was not given to supervisors. It is CCPOA's position that once a benefit is earned the employee retains the benefit thought-out their career. If you were affected by this policy please contact Jo Anne at CCPOA Headquarters (1-800-821-6443).
