To ensure that its compensation structure is reasonable, the AOC should cease paying employees' share of retirement contributions.

60-Day Agency Response

This benefit was eliminated for 11 executive level employees identified by the CSA audit. We reported this to the Judicial Council on February 19, 2015. The benefit change will be processed effective July 1, 2015. (The Judicial Council ceased paying new executive level employees' share of retirement benefits back in October 2012.)
