RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22214 to cancel one (1) Child Support Services Manager (9CDA) (unrepresented) vacant position #11609 and reallocate the classification of Child Support Services Manager (9CDA) (unrepresented) from salary plan and grade B85 1798 ($7,074-$8,599) to salary plan and grade B85 1798 ($8,181-$9,945) on the Salary Schedule, as recommended by the Department of Child Support Services Director.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This transaction will result in an annual salary savings of $114,089. The department is funded 100% by the State.

BACKGROUND:

The Department of Child Support Services (DCSS) has undergone significant changes due to a sixteen-year flat-funded budget and an evolving program, and it is in the best interest of DCSS to eliminate one of its four Child Support Services (CSS) Manager positions. A recent job analysis report confirmed that the CSS Manager positions have assumed increased responsibilities. The CSS Manager duties and responsibilities have also become more complex as the program has evolved. The current salary for the CSS Manager classification is 15.65% lower than the median salaries of comparable classifications in other Bay Area child support agencies. In order to compensate the CSS Managers for the added responsibilities and complexities of the job, and to enable DCSS to recruit experienced managers, DCSS is requesting the reallocation of the salary schedule.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this transaction is not approved, DCSS will have difficulty retaining its CSS Managers and filling vacant CSS Manager positions with experienced managers. The department will have to reassess the duties and responsibility level of the existing CSS Managers, which will have an impact on performance.
