RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22170 to reallocate the salary on the salary schedule for the Law Clerk III (2YTA) (unrepresented) classification from salary plan and grade F85 1168 ($3,538) to F85 1168 ($4,333) as recommended by the County Administrator.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, this action will result in annual costs of approximately $13,447. (100% General Fund)

BACKGROUND:

The base salary for this classifications is not competitive enough to recruit and retain staff. In reviewing the salaries of like positions in other Bay Area counties, the County Administrator's Office found Contra Costa County’s compensation in the legal field is significantly below market. The Department is requesting to reallocate the salary of the Law Clerk III classifications in order to compete with only other counties.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the County will be negatively impacted due to the difficulty to attract and recruit candidates.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
