The San Diego Superior Court is offering new incentives to court reporters, including retention and recruitment bonuses, for employees
The San Diego Superior Court and a local labor union have reached an agreement to provide court reporters a new incentives package, including retention and recruitment bonuses — a move some say could help alleviate anCourt executive officers say the new incentives — made possible by two budget appropriations bills signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2021 and 2022 respectively — will help San Diego’s juvenile and criminal courts fill 19 vacant court reporter positions.
“We recognize how important a verbatim record of a proceeding can be in ensuring access to justice and we appreciate the demanding level of concentration and effort it takes our court reporters to provide this important public service,” Roddy said. “We are proud to have fought for and won appropriate increases for experienced members and incoming hires, but we are most excited to have preserved funding for court reporters and the vital role they play to protect equal access to justice,” said Jennifer Esquivel, a court reporter and board member with SEIU Local 221.
But Esquivel praised the new package for including signing bonuses for full-time and part-time court reporter employees, recruitment bonuses, retention bonus, new part-time positions, a technology stipend and tuition/professional conference reimbursement.
