November is the first pay period that exempt employees and workers covered by SEIU Local 1000 return to full hours and pay (which will show up on the Dec. 1 paycheck.)
We're still receiving a trickle of email and phone calls from employees who either haven't heard or don't believe it. So we're posting the highly technical proof: the Nov. 1 pay letter from the Department of Personnel Administration to the State Controller's Office. The key sentence:

DJJ calendar
The academic calendar for teachers in the Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) was signed by Unit 3 negotiators on Jan. 25. The academic year starts Aug. 1, 2011, and ends July 6, 2012. The beginning of the 2012-13 academic year will be discussed over the following months and be announced no later than Nov. 15, 2011. Until discussions are held, it will remain unknown whether July 30-31, 2012, will be work days (this is reflected on the calendar).
Note: No Personal Leave Program 2010 (PLP) blackout days were proposed by the Education Service Branch of DJJ. The management team reaffirmed its commitment that DJJ teachers should be afforded maximum discretion in the use of furlough and PLP 2010 leave in consideration for pay cuts experienced as a result of both programs.

Understanding our new contract provisions
Our new contract--ratified by the membership last November--provides us with 12 leave days as part of the Personal Leave Program (PLP) and two additional Professional Development Days (PDD). Here's a guide that defines those two contract rights and how you can use them.

Q. How do we accrue days under the new Personal Leave Program (PLP)?
A. All employees will accumulate one personal leave day (eight hours) per month for 12 months (Nov. 2010 - Oct. 2011). In exchange, employee pay will be reduced by 4.62 percent for the same 12-month period, reflected on your paychecks from Dec. 1, 2010 through Nov. 1, 2011.
Employees can bank this time as long it is all used by June 30, 2013. This PLP leave must be used prior to the use of vacation, annual leave and any other leaves (except sick leave).

Arbitrator rules management violated side letter on "maximum discretion" for scheduling employee time off
Local 1000 members in the Employment Development Department (EDD) won a favorable arbitration ruling against the state after their department excessively restricted the ability of members to use their PLP 2012 time.
"This arbitration victory shows that we can successfully stand up to management when they are unreason- able," said Joyce Wheeler-Owens, an EDD employee in San Diego. "We have put management on notice that we will not back down on contract violations."
