Location of Employment: State of Oregon Judicial Department, Umatilla County Circuit Court - Juvenile Court Programs - Citizen Review Board (CRB), 216 S.E. 4th Street, Pendleton, Oregon 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. Note: Due to an extraordinary shortfall in the State of Oregon’s budget, and in order to minimize the number of potential layoffs, the Oregon Judicial Department has implemented the following cost containment measures that apply to all OJD employees:

(Note: Effective January 1, 2010, insurance contributions will be pro-rated for part-time employees who work less than 100%.) Retirement benefits include participation in the Public Employee Retirement System (PERS) or the Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan (OPSRP), depending on eligibility. 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). 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.
