ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 26175 to decrease the hours of one (1) Nurse Practitioner (VWSB) position #15679 and its incumbent EE#81433 from 24/40 to 22/40 at salary plan and grade L35-1873 ($13,262 - $16,562) in the Health Services Department. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, there is an annual cost savings of approximately $15,717 with pension costs of $4,008 already included. The entire cost is funded by Hospital Enterprise Fund I (100%).

BACKGROUND:

The Health Services Department is requesting to decrease the position hours for Nurse Practitioner position #15679 and its incumbent from 24/40 to 22/40. This request is being made because it was discovered that per the CNA MOU, as a 24-hour employee, they are only allowed to bill for two (2) hours of administrative time, but their schedule was set up to bill for four (4) hours. The incumbent currently works five (5) clinics and with two (2) hours of admin time. This would give the incumbent a 22-hour position. The option was given to add additional clinic time, but the incumbent elected to decrease their position hours in lieu of more clinic time. No clinical hours are affected by this change.
