CCPOA has a toll free number that members can call with their questions on the pay arbitration settlement. It is (877) 729-2726.
MARCH 17, 2007
In a conversation I had with Chuck Alexander yesterday, Friday, March 16, 2007, I received an update on the disbursement of the settlement monies. This will, hopefully, dispel all prior rumors of the progress and amount each of us, that are entitled to payment, will receive.
Since this is a settlement based on the distribution of the $200M award and NOT a payment for lost wages, everyone entitled to payment will receive their share based on their qualifying time that they worked during the subject 18 month period regardless of pay grade or overtime.
If all eligible BU6 employees had worked ALL of the 18 months, the payment would work out to ROUGHLY $7,000.00 before taxes. However, in the reconciliation process, CCPOA and the State Controller are discovering that many of the claimants only worked a fractional portion of the subject 18 months and are only entitled to payment for part of the total period. It is this recalculation and redistribution of the $200M that has the potential for causing a delay, however, this also means that, depending on the time that each entitled BU6 employee worked during this 18 month period, the amount could be less or it could be more because of the redistribution of the $200M.
Generally, those who worked overtime during this period will receive more in this settlement than if the overtime was calculated separately.
The distribution is tentatively scheduled for April of 2007, however, due to the redistribution as cited, the distribution may be delayed until May.
