Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On June 19, 2018, the Board of Supervisors adopted Master Position Allocation Table for FY 2018-2019 Budget, Resolution No. 18-086.
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 request for salary grade adjustments, analyze allocations, and make recommendations for additions, modifications, and corrections.
At the request of the Health and Human Services Agency (HHSA) and the direction of the Board, Human Resources reviewed the classifications and salaries of the Eligibility Worker series due to the extreme difficulty in recruiting and retaining employees. On average, the series is approximately 18% below market. Twenty-eight of the seventy-five allocated positions (approximately 37%) are vacant.
The Civil Service Commission approved modifications and title changes to the classifications on May 16, 2018. The County has fulfilled its obligation with the affected bargaining unit. The fiscal impact for the current budget year for the salary increase is $523,504 if all positions are filled. The Health and Human Services Agency budgeted these costs in anticipation of the study being complete. Below reflects approximate wages and the cost of benefits. Costs associated with this action relative to the Health and Human Services Agency are not General Fund and are allocated through state and federal funds.
