CalHR Website
CalHR is the result of California's consolidation of the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA) with certain programs of the State Personnel Board. CalHR is responsible for all issues related to salaries and benefits, job classifications, civil rights, training, exams, recruiting, and retaining. For most employees, many of these matters are determined through the collective bargaining process.
