Estimated maximum salary and benefit cost for the requested extension of extra-help is Sixteen Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Five Dollars ($16,165.00) for fund 3521 budget unit 151. There are sufficient funds in the Communications budget (3521-151) to cover the additional cost of these hours.
All extra-help employees working beyond nine hundred sixty (960) hours are subject to paying into the California Public Employee Retirement System (“PERS”). The additional costs for PERS have been included in the above-mentioned estimated salary cost.
