Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On June 21, 2022, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Master Position Allocation Table for the FY 2022-2023 Budget, Resolution Number 22-149.
Summary of Request:
The Human Resources Department is charged, as part of the overall maintenance of the classification and compensation plan, to evaluate current classifications, create new classifications (including appropriate salary levels), reclassify positions, examine requests for salary grade adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections.
Following the completion of the Koff study in 2019, the County of Mendocino experienced significant salary compaction among many classifications; some of which have been addressed while other classifications still need attention. Human Resources continues to work on classifications that are hard to fill and retain, and currently have incumbents who are negatively affected by compaction and alignment issues. Public Health Nurse series, Director of Public Health - Nursing, Registered Nurses, and Licensed Vocational Nurses are classifications that are compacted and out of alignment, and are consistently hard to fill and retain. Human Resources recently completed a salary study on our nursing classifications, the classifications are considerably lower than the market salaries.
Human Resources recommends the Board of Supervisors approve the salary increases for the nursing classification as stated. With the approval of these salaries, and using the Public Health Nurse as our benchmark, we have aligned to 100% of the market salaries and have addressed the compaction within the classifications. This will help with future recruitment, filling vacancies and improve retention within the departments.
The impact shown below for this fiscal year is calculated at Step 5 during pay period 07-23 (March 19, 2022) and includes the cost of benefits. The annual recurring cost shown below is calculated at Step 5 including the cost of benefits.
The County has fulfilled its obligation with the affected bargaining unit related to this proposed salary revision.
