Resolution No. 17-189, adopted December 19, 2017.
Summary of Request:
1. Removal of Link to the Department Head Unit
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.
Resolution No. 10-006, adopted January 5, 2010, delineates the terms and conditions of employment for unrepresented management employees and exempt elected officials. In pertinent part, Resolution No. 10-006 provided that (1) certain identified unrepresented management employees would receive the same terms and conditions of employment as have been afforded to employees in the Mendocino County Department Heads Unit, and (2) certain unrepresented management employees and exempt elected officials would have their compensation set by contract or resolution and would not be bound by any future specific terms and conditions conferred to any other bargaining group.
Resolution No. 10-006 has been amended many times since its adoption, adding and removing classifications that would either (1) receive the same terms and conditions of employment as the Mendocino County Department Heads Unit or (2) have their compensation set by contract or resolution and would not be bound by any future specific terms and conditions conferred to any other bargaining group.
Resolution No. 17-189 provided that, as of December 31, 2017, elected Department Heads and Elected Officials will receive all eligible benefits included in the current Department Head Memorandum of Understanding.
This action today is to no longer link any of the unrepresented management employees’ or elected department heads or elected officials’ terms and conditions of employment to the Mendocino County Department Heads Unit or any other bargaining unit.
Instead, the terms and conditions of employment of these classifications will be established by the resolution being considered by the Board, and any such terms and conditions may be modified by a separate contract between the County and any of the identified job classifications subject to this resolution.
In doing so, the Board will rescind Resolution No. 10-006, and all subsequent amendments thereto, which made applicable to certain unrepresented management employees the specific terms and conditions of employment afforded to the Mendocino County Department Heads Unit.
The Board will also rescind the specific provisions in Resolution 17-189, which provided that elected department heads and elected officials will receive all eligible benefits included in the current Department Head Memorandum of Understanding.
2. Salary Adjustment for Non-Elected Unrepresented Employees
The proposed resolution also provides for the following salary adjustment for non-elected unrepresented employees:
Effective the first full pay period following Board of Supervisors approval of this Resolution, non-elected Unrepresented employees will receive a 1% Cost of Living adjustment (COLA) increase to base salary.
For those classifications identified as being below market in the County’s 2023 total compensation study (the “2023 Compensation Study”) effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2024, non-elected Unrepresented employees in those classifications shall receive one-half of the market salary increase designed to bring them to one hundred percent (100%) of market determined by the 2023 Compensation Study.
For those classifications identified as being below market in the 2023 Compensation Study, effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2025, non-elected Unrepresented employees in those classifications shall receive the remaining one-half of the market salary increase designed to bring them to one hundred percent (100%) of market determined by the 2023 Compensation Study.
Salary adjustments for elected unrepresented employees shall be done by the Board of Supervisors by separate resolution.
