Benefits

Driven by the competition for talent, the City of San Jacinto offers a generous employment package to help employees enjoy the things that are important at home and at work. It's called Total Rewards. Total Rewards represents an employees' employment deal with the City. It's the various components that make up an employment package extending beyond compensation to include a "big picture" view of everything the City offers as an employer.

Compensation

A pay for performance philosophy assumes that compensation decisions reflect performance differences. Organizations using this philosophy do not guarantee additional compensation for simply completing another year of service. The City of San Jacinto provides its employees with compensation that is commensurate with experience and education, and administers increases that reflect employee performance on-the-job.

All newly-hired and promoted employees experience a six-month training/trial period whereby performance is evaluated at the conclusion of their training. At this time, a compensation evaluation may also be conducted.

Cost of living (COLA) increases may be agreed upon during contract negotiations and are therefore administered in a manner that complies with contractual obligations.
