6512     NEW POSITIONS
(Revised 2/98)

A new position is one which has been newly authorized for establishment in the approved budget.  Normally these are presented in the Governor's Budget (“Changes In Authorized Positions” section) as Proposed New Positions.

Proposed new positions (other than in the California State University System) that are likely to be approved by the Legislature should be established as soon as possible if they are to become effective on July 1.  The documentation should be submitted to reach SCO by the June pay period document cut-off date.  It will be necessary for departments to prepare the necessary forms STD. 607 and 625 as necessary in advance and release them as soon as the legislative intent and the Governor's veto action are known.  The certification in SAM Section 6527 may be used and will be accepted by SCO.  Documents reaching SCO after the June pay period document cut-of date will not be included in the Schedule 8 Tabulation and the initial galley (Schedule 7A) of the Salaries and Wages Supplement.
