LTCC offers a competitive compensation package that includes a starting placement salary of $50,368 to $55,590 annually, dependent on education and experience. There is potential to reach $64,463 annually, through step advancement plus longevity when appropriate. In addition to base salary, this position qualifies for extra masters or doctorate pay as well as a $500 technology allowance. Health and Welfare benefits include medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and long term disability. These benefits also include full coverage of a gold-level medical plan which, on average, covers 80% of healthcare expenses for a standard population. LTCC also matches 22.91% of an eligible employee's salary and contributes it into a CalPERS pension account for qualifying employees.

LTCC provides 16 paid holidays per year plus 12 days of vacation (with the potential to reach 24 days through years of service) and 12 days sick leave per year.
