  The Unit 2 collective bargaining agreement provides for a 
  salary differential for incumbents in specific 
  classifications who receive a certificate from the National 
  Judicial College.  Course work that satisfies the 
  requirement for the differential has not yet been 
  determined.  The Department of Personnel Administration 
  (DPA) will be meeting with the Association of California 
  State Attorneys and Administrative Law Judges 
  (ACSA),affected departments and the National Judicial 
  College to discuss such matters as the length and content 
  of training which qualifies for the differential.  DPA's 
  goal is to balance the need for consistency between 
  departments with unique training interests of each 
  department.  Until DPA releases the pay letter describing 
  training which qualifies for the differential, departments 
  should not authorize training with the expectation that it 
  satisfies the terms of the Unit 2 collective bargaining 
  agreement.
