RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/60 approving the Side Letter between Contra Costa County and the California Nurses Association (CNA) on behalf of its Per Diem members granting the Charge Nurse Relief Differential to the classifications of Staff Nurse – Per Diem and Staff Advice Nurse – Per Diem. To the extent that employees may have received payments of this differential in error, no recoupment is required.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This differential has been paid by the department. There is no change in fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

It has been determined that the Health Services Department has been paying a Charge Nurse Relief Differential to the classifications of Staff Nurse - Per Diem and Staff Advice Nurse - Per Diem. This differential is considered necessary by the Department to appropriately staff the Health Services facilities. The parties have met and conferred and reach the attached tentative agreement. The differential will be paid at the rate of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) for eight (8) hours and prorated at twelve dollars and fifty cents ($12.50) for four (4) hours. Adopting this resolution will provide authorization for the continuation of this differential.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Side Letter is not approved, the County will not receive the additional necessary services of the Per Diem Nurses to participate in Charge Nurse Relief duty.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
