RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21032 to increase the hours of two permanent part-time Registered Nurse-Advanced Level (VWXE) positions #11774 from 24/40 to 36/40, and #9504 from 32/40 to 36/40 at salary level L32 1878 ($8,435.79 - $8,646.68) in the Health Services Department (represented).

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action has an annual cost of approximately $61,005.00, including approximately $14,717.00 in pension costs, which is offset by straight time overtime pay already incurred by incumbents working over their designated position hours.

BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Contra Costa County and the California Nurses Association (CNA), the Health Services Department is requesting to increase the position hours of two (2) Registered Nurse-Advanced Level (VWXE) positions #11774 and incumbent Tami Welcome EE #50504 from 24/40 to 36/40, and #9504 and incumbent Jessica Jones EE#62963 from 32/40 to 36/40 at salary level L32 1878 ($8,435.79 - $8,646.68) in the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its Health Centers. (Represented)

This request meets the criteria set forth in the MOU as the incumbents have consistently worked over their designated position hours in the past six months and the Department has determined that there is a continuing need for the additional hours.

Upon approval, there is an annual cost associated with this action at approximately $61,005.00, including $14,717.00 in pension costs, which is offset by straight time overtime pay already incurred by incumbents working over their designated position hours.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department will not have adequate staff hours to meet patient service needs, which may negatively impact patient care. Further, the Department will not be in compliance with the agreement with CNA.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
