GENERAL INFORMATION

Location of Employment: State of Oregon, Judicial Department, Office of
the State Court Administrator, Financial and Administrative Services
Division, 1162 State Street, Room 550, Salem, OR 97301

Salary: The Judicial Department's practice is to begin employees at the
first pay step. However, a higher starting pay rate may be considered
depending upon the applicant's current salary and benefits, education,
and experience. For current non-temporary OJD employees, JDPR 4.03(3)(d)
states that upon promotion an employee shall normally receive a one-step
pay increase from the employee's current pay rate (not including
differentials under JDPR 4.07) to the next higher rate in the salary
range to which the employee is promoted. JDPR 4.03(3)(e) states that
upon transfer to another position with the same salary range, the
transferring employee retains the same pay rate.

Bilingual Pay Differential: Some employees may be assigned to use
bilingual skills in the regular performance of the employees' duties. An
employee, who, as assigned in writing by the administrative authority,
uses bilingual skill(s) (including American Sign Language) in the
performance of assigned duties and who passes the bilingual skill
proficiency test(s) approved by the State Court Administrator, shall
receive a monthly pay differential equal to an additional step for the
duration of each assignment as determined by the administrative
authority.

Benefit Package: Non-Management. The Judicial Department offers an
attractive benefit plan which provides contributions toward Public
Employees Benefit Board (PEBB) sponsored individual and family medical
and dental insurance. The insurance contributions are pro-rated for
part-time employees who work less than 80% of full-time. Other benefits
include paid holidays, and paid vacation, sick and personal leaves.
Optional benefits include, life insurance, long and short term
disability, long term care insurance, and participation in the Oregon
Savings Growth Plan (deferred compensation). Retirement benefits include
participation in the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) or the
Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan (OPSRP), depending on eligibility.
