RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 21041 adding one permanent part-time (30/40) Therapist Assistant (V5WF) position at salary level QT-1435 ($4,424 - $5,377) in the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its Health Centers. (Represented)

FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

The new position will be assigned in Martinez to perform non-complex therapy treatment procedures under the supervision of a Licensed Occupational Therapist. The Department is currently utilizing registry and a per diem staff to perform these duties, and the new position will provide a continuum of care to patients.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, rehabilitation therapy services will not be adequately staffed, which will adversely impact patient care.
