Will the raise take place immediately or later in the year? Or retroactive? Thanks, if anyone knows the answer.
The 5.5% increase is effective October 1, 2022. The SEIU 721 Bargaining Committee was able to negotiate the $1375 bonus as a “bridge” to tide us over until the October 1 raise kicks in. The bonus will be issued immediately upon ratification and Board of Supervisor approval.
Thank you!!
AWESOME NEWS! Thank you for all your hard work!
What about the pay increase that was supposed to happen last year?
A Heroes Pay bonus of $1,000 in late 2022, and additional bonuses dependent on job duties and/or Dept was given for the prior 6 month contract — 10/1/21 – 3/32/22.
For this agreement, our bargaining committee was able to negotiate the $1375 bonus as a “bridge” to tide us over until the October 1 raise kicks in. Upon ratification of course.
So awesome!!! Way to go SEIU & our perspective bargaining teams. You all ROCK!!
Are there retroactive payments that will also be included from expiry of last contract on April 1

Do you know when we will get the first 5.5 increase and $1375 bonus?
The 5.5% increase is effective October 1, 2022. The bonus will be issued immediately upon TA ratification by our membership and Board of Supervisor approval.
Is 685 a part of the agreement for the increase?

Ok. Thank you.
When does this take effect?
The bonus will be issued immediately upon member ratification and Board of Supervisor approval. Stay tuned for ratification details. The 5.5% increase is effective October 1, 2022.
Do you have an idea when we will get the bonus??
The $1375 bonus will be issued no later than 45 days after the contract is ratified by SEIU 721 members and approved by the Board of Supervisors.
That could take long.
So will it be issued immediately after approval? Or no later than 45 days, because those are 2 different time frames…
After the membership ratifies the agreement, it will be sent to the Board of Supervisors for approval (who meet 3 times a month). Bonuses will be issued no later than 45 days after the latter part happens.
Great job
Great work guys! This is the largest overall increase I’ve heard of since the 2014 negotiations. Maybe even exceeding those with all of the side items.
Once approved / voting , when would we receive the bonus January 2023
The bonus will be issued immediately upon TA ratification by our membership and Board of Supervisor approval. Stay tuned for ratification details.

The SEIU 721 dues rate will not change. It remains 1.5%.
Will this apply to all classifications?
These raises apply to all SEIU 721 classifications. Dozens of classifications will receive ADDITIONAL salary increases on top of the basic increases. A complete list of these classifications with additional salary increases will be provided soon.
So we get nothing for the past year? Or is the what the “ bonus” is for?

Any idea how long it takes to ratify and for the Board of Sups to sign, to get the $1,375 bonus? Thank you
We will be sharing ratification details soon and the voting window.
elder care expenses how that work?
Will we pay out of pocket for our benefits? Did we keep that stipend that is used to cover our cafeteria benefits?
Congratulations union workers! I’m happy for all of you. Remember to support other union workers when buying items like your vehicle. All those union busting companies like Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, BMW and Mercedes operate plants that DON’T want unions. Plus, companies like Walmart and Target actually make their workers sit through hours of anti union propaganda. So support other unions like yourselves! Congratulations again!
Why are you fighting for reimbursements for people telecommuting? They already benefit from saving gas, wear and tear on their vehicle and themselves. They are able to reduce the stress of the commute. Shouldn’t there be more benefit for those who are and have been going to their job sites?
Is a bonus just a one time thing. Or is it monthly?
The one time bonus will be issued immediately upon member ratification and Board of Supervisor approval.Ratifications details coming soon.
Does the me too clause mean All county employees will receive this? TIA
We are not aware of any “me too” clauses in other County union agreements. But, it is the County’s practice to offer and extend negotiated general salary increases to ALL unions and to non-represented employees.
Way to go SEIU. Thanks for working for the people
Thank you!!!
Granny is happy .To all of my Labor Sisters And Brothers vote Yes .
Is this for LASD as well?
These raises apply to all SEIU 721 classifications. Dozens of classifications will receive ADDITIONAL salary increases on top of the basic increases. A complete list of these classifications with additional salary increases will be provided soon.
How can we get a list of the Classifications that will receive the additional salary increase
Please see individual Bargaining Unit (BU) summaries when they become available very soon. Will share when that happens.
What are the effective dates of the subsequent 3.25% bumps?
Oct. 1, 2022 5.5%
Oct. 1, 2023 3.25%
Oct. 1, 2024 3.25%
I’m sorry but not getting a raise immediately is not acceptable to me. We have to wait 5 more months and that bonus in today’s economy, is nothing.
So they need until October to come up with the money l! So what are they FUNDRAISING?
Is the bonus for all LA county employee or only SEIU 721 members?

Will you provide more details regarding telework expansion and telework expense reimbursement?
Some tables are still negotiating individual items at their respective bargaining tables. We’ll share more details soon.Stay tuned.
Please include secretarial items. It is not fair that we are not allowed to telework because we are expected to “cover” for management when management should be in the office as well. I think it is in everyone’s job specs to do simple tasks like answering their own phone line when necessary, they are also public servants just like everyone else
this applies to health workers? ihss workeers?
?

Will teleworking be allowed full-time?
Does this apply to new hires as well?
Full-time employees will receive $1,375 bonus and part-time and temp employees $700
Is any of this for the temporary workers? We haven’t received any of the Covid bonuses. Will we even see this pay raise?
Part-time and temp employees will receive $700.
yay! What about the pay raise? Do we know that yet?
My apologizes if someone already asked this. Are the pay increases on top of our yearly increases?
In addition, many SEIU 721 members will receive additional salary increases depending on their Bargaining Unit, some as much as 11% more. More detailed information on this is coming soon. And all SEIU 721 members will also receive $90 – $195 per month more for Options to cover medical and dental premiums.
Is this a joke?
We have to wait till 10/2022 to get a raise?
The bonuses will be issued no later than 45 days after the contract is ratified by SEIU 721 LA County members and is approved by the Board of Supervisors.
Wow! Thank you so much! This is wonderful!
