Appointed State Officials

Appointed State Officials

The salaries of most top-level State officers appointed by the Governor are set in Chapter 6, Part 1, Division 3, of Title 2 of the Government Code. Each section in this Chapter lists a salary and the positions that receive that salary. Any appointee to a position listed must also be confirmed by the State Senate.
 
Chapter 6 also includes a provision that the salaries listed will increase in any fiscal year in which the State provides a general salary increase for employees. " The amount of the increase shall be comparable to, but shall not exceed, the percentage of the general salary increases provided for State employees. "
 
CalHR reports the amount of the increase to the State Controller, who handles payroll. The State Controller implements the increase.
