Staffing Budget Overview
Staffing remains a critical component of the Court's budget, with a substantial portion dedicated
to maintaining the full-time equivalents (FTEs) necessary for effective service delivery. Salary
and benefit (S&B) costs account for over 76% of the budget.
Total S&B by Department
The total budgeted amount for FY 2024-25 S&B is $213,237,506. This budget supports staffing across
various departments, with the Operations Department being the largest. The Operations Department plays a
crucial role in managing case flow and providing essential public services. It ensures the Court operates
smoothly, supporting the public’s access to justice. The visual below shows the budgeted S&B for each
department.
Staffing by Program Fund
While the majority of the Court’s staffing costs are supported by the General Fund, other staff support
programs are reimbursed through various sources, including the State, the Judicial Council of California
(JCC), the County of Orange, grants, and local revenues. The visual below shows the different programs and
