Executive Summary for Members:
PCSO Collective Bargaining Agreement
October 1, 2022 – September 30, 2023:
Wage Reopener 2
Sun Coast PBA is pleased to share the results of our collective bargaining session with the Sheriff’s Office.
As a reminder, this year the PBA negotiated with the Sheriff’s Office pursuant to the 2020-2023 Agreement, under the
second wage reopener provision. In other words, this negotiation was solely about salaries for the upcoming fiscal year.
The PBA and the Sheriff’s Office have agreed to the following very positive new terms, which include:
Pay Plan: The new step plan for all members goes into effect on October 1, 2022. All steps in all three steps plans
(deputies, sergeants, and lieutenants) have been increased. Additionally, any member who is not currently topped out
will also move to the next available step on his or her anniversary date.
Deputies: A starting Deputy will make $57,200, and a topped-out Deputy will make $86,519. As a result,
members will receive a raise of between 7.76% to 13.43% during the next fiscal year. Chart attached
which shows the exact dollar amount of each step.
Sergeants: A starting Sergeant will make $86,983, and a topped-out Sergeant will make $98,690. As a
result, members will receive a raise of between 6.05% to 11.53% during the next fiscal year. Chart attached
which shows the exact dollar amount of each step.
Lieutenants: A starting Lieutenant will make $98,860, and a topped-out Lieutenant will make $115,107.
As a result, members will receive a raise of between 6.01% to 14.71% during the next fiscal year.
Secondary Employment, Non-Holiday: Effective October 1, 2022, the Sheriff’s Office will increase secondary employment
rates for members. Lieutenants will make $62/hour. Sergeants will make $59/hour. Deputies will make $56/hour. On
holidays, these rates will increase (see below).
Secondary Employment, Holiday: Effective October 1, 2022, the Sheriff’s Office will increase secondary employment rates
on holidays for members. On holidays, Lieutenants will make $72/hour. On holidays, Sergeants will make $69/hour. On
holidays, Deputies will make $66/hour.
New Sheriff’s Office Holiday: Beginning this year, effective July 1, 2022, the State of Florida designated May 1 of each
year as “Law Enforcement Appreciation Day.” The Sheriff’s Office is taking this a step further, making the May 1 annual
“Law Enforcement Appreciation Day” into a paid Sheriff’s Office holiday.
Dry Cleaning Allowance: Currently, members receive a $150 dry cleaning allowance. Effective October 1, 2022, that
amount will increase to $250.
Health Insurance Costs: The Sheriff’s Office is self-insured. Due to increased costs and claims, the cost of members’
health insurance has gone up substantially (by approximately $3,200,000) for the upcoming fiscal year. The Sheriff’s Office
has agreed to absorb all of these new costs instead of passing on substantial premium increases to you. Additionally, the
Sheriff’s Office has agreed to decrease members’ out of pocket costs, with expenses like x-rays and lab work to $0 co-pay,
and imaging expenses like CAT scans and MRIs to a $100 max co-pay. Both the Platinum and Gold plans will see substantial
deductible decreases.
