With the approval of the board of supervisors, a majority of the judges may establish such additional titles and pay rates as are required and may appoint such additional commissioners, officers, assistants, and other employees as they deem necessary for the performance of the duties and exercise of the powers conferred by law upon the court and its members.

Such additional appointments or changes in compensation made pursuant to this section shall be on an interim basis and shall expire on the effective date of appropriate ratifying or modifying state legislation.
All personnel except pro tem court reporters shall be entitled to salary advancement, vacation, sick leave, holiday benefits, other leaves of absence, and other benefits, not more than that provided in the Alameda County Administrative Code for county employees.

All personnel except pro tem court reporters shall be included in the Alameda County retirement system.
If the board of supervisors provides by ordinance or resolution for a rate of compensation for positions in any of the superior court classes specified in this section which is higher than that herein otherwise provided for, such higher rate of compensation shall be effective at the same time and in the same manner as rates of pay for Alameda County employees generally. Comparative classes shall be determined by a majority of the judges and the board of supervisors.
