Employee Compensation Data
Gross Annual Compensation Data by Position
Compensation data provides ten elements of data for City of Chico employees. Each document provides annualized gross compensation and benefits data broken down by employee and by five categories of compensation. The categories of compensation are as follows:
- Regular Pay – includes all hours associated with work, leave hours (vacation, sick, holiday, admin, holiday, and bereavement), workers compensation time, light duty, and jury duty.
- Overtime Pay – includes various types of overtime pay and callback pay.
- Special Pay – includes premium pays such as shift differentials, certification pays, holiday premiums, and duty pays (gang unit, rescue team, school resource officer, etc.).
- Additional Pay – includes alternate pays such as termination vacation payouts, sick leave payouts, auto and phone allowances, and severance payments.
- Fringe Pay – includes employer compensation for medical, dental, vision, and retirement benefits. Further, includes deferred compensation and life insurance payments.
NOTE: Employee position and department reflect the most current as of the end date of the activity range. For example, 2022 annual report would include an employee’s position and department as of December 31, 2022.
The City is self-insured for workers compensation; as a result, pay for employees on workers compensation will be reflected in the Regular Pay line items and not Fringe Pay starting in 2015.
Starting with the 2017 report, the City of Chico is converting its employee compensation reporting to match the requirements established by the California State Controller who will require in 2018 that cities exclude unfunded liability payments from active employee compensation in order to facilitate consistent reporting and improve the comparability and transparency of compensation information published by the State Controller. As such, the City made the conversion in July 2017 to its data system. As a result, the 2017 report will still overstate total employee compensation by about half a year’s worth of unfunded liability and in 2018, will be reporting no unfunded liability.

California State Controller Compensation Reports
The California State Controller’s Officer requires cities to provide annual compensation reports, which report Medicare wages for public employees. The reports are not comparable to the Gross Annual Compensation Data reports shown above, as the City of Chico’s reports provide a more accurate accounting of the gross compensation received by employees.
