RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution #20890 to cancel one (1) vacant 40/40 Medical Social Worker II (X4VH) (represented) position #14010; and add two (2) permanent intermittent Medical Social Worker II (X4VH) (represented) positions, in the Health Services Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The cost associated with this request is $121,071.41 per calendar year and will be completely offset by the cancellation of the permanent full time position. (Cost neutral).

BACKGROUND:

This action is being requested to more effectively utilize resources while continuing to provide safe and effective services in the Psychiatric Emergency Services department. This will allow the department the flexibility to deploy Permanent Intermittent staff as needed for coverage. Currently the Psychiatric Emergency Services department is utilizing overtime and temporary staff to cover sick leave, vacation, and extended leave.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this recommendation is not approved, the Health Services Department Psychiatric Emergency Services will not have the flexibility to assign permanent intermittent staff as needed to cover sick leave, vacation, and extended leave.
