FAQs

The California Correctional Supervisors Organization (CCSO) was created in 1992 to serve the exclusive interest of supervisory and managerial personnel who work for the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Department of State Hospitals.

CCSO has a formula-driven two-tier system payable in monthly installments. Dues are due on the first day of each month and increase when the respective tier receives a raise.

A) Tier 1

CCSO dues are calculated by 0.92% of Correctional Sergeant’ highest salary.  This tier applies to all members whose highest monthly gross income in their respective classification is equal to or greater than a Correctional Sergeant’s highest salary. 

B) Tier 2

CCSO dues are calculated by 0.93% of Staff Services Manager I highest salary.  This tier applies to all members whose highest monthly gross income in their respective classification is less than a Correctional Sergeant’s highest salary. 

Exact dollar amount can be found on the CCSO membership application.

CCSO is lobbying for excluded employees to receive the respect and recognition they have so long deserved. CCSO secures benefits, raises, and a safe and fair workplace. CCSO works with the Receiver’s Office to obtain enhanced pay and working conditions for medical supervisors and managers.

CCSO’s mission is to provide its membership with professional, competent, and aggressive legal representation. Our primary goal is to achieve exclusive representation rights for all peace officers and non-peace officers in supervisory and managerial classifications employed in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and the Department of State Hospitals.
