            In Calendar Year 2017, the State shall provide a contribution per DCAA
         account enrollee as follows:


            Employee Gross                  Employer Contribution

            Annual Salary


              Under $30,000                        $800
              $30,001 - $40,000                    $700

              $40,001 - $50,000                    $600
              $50,001 - $60,000                    $500

              $60,001 - $70,000                    $400
              Over $70,000                         $300


            In  subsequent years, the employer  contribution  may be increased or

         reduced so as to fully expend  available funds  for this purpose, while
         maintaining salary sensitive differentials. In the event available funds are

         not fully expended for  this purpose,  the residual funds shall be  made
         available  to benefit CSEA members as mutually determined  by the

         Director of GOER and the President of CSEA or their designees. In no

         event shall  the  aggregate employer contribution exceed the amounts
         provided for this purpose.
            §38.3 In the interest of providing greater availability of dependent care

         and  other services to  CSEA  represented  employees  and  maximizing

         resources available,  the Work-Life Services  Program may support
         additional initiatives as recommended by the Advisory Board.

            §38.4  Network  Child  Care  Assistance Program  The  State  and  CSEA
         remain committed to ensuring that all network childcare available to State

         employees is provided in safe, high quality centers. Therefore, the State
         and CSEA agree to:

            (a) Continue financial support for health and safety grants for childcare
         network centers;

            (b) Provide technical support and training for child care initiatives; and
            (c)  Encourage  the continuation  of existing host agency support for

         childcare centers.
