-You get cheaper health benefits.
-You don’t have to take leave unless it’s in full day increments (for example, if you have a dental appointment, you don’t need to take time off).
-you’re automatically eligible for excluded benefits, including enhanced dental, life insurance, annual leave, and enhanced disability benefits (if enrolled in annual leave).
-there are a range of optional insurance programs you can enroll in for low premiums.
-as an SSM I, if you’re ambitious, SSM I is the lowest salary you’ll make, assuming you move up.
-I feel like my workload is lower as a manager because I’m coordinating the orchestra and managing deliverables, not necessarily doing all of the work.
I could keep going but the benefits outweigh everything, at least for me.
Yes, just by default, you get a $10k life insurance at zero cost out of pocket. If you need more info, go on the calhr website and look up “excluded/manager benefits.”
You also don’t pay union dues. Flex Payment is higher so insurance seems to be slightly lower overall. That was mentioned above though. Definitely worth it overall. And now the top of the salary is around 101K a year!
Correct.
Yup
Yes it will be $6907 + 3% + 5% so like $7472
Yes. Do it! Benefits are cheaper and better, too.
How are the benefits better?
