RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)
-Chief Nursing Officer-Exempt (VWD2),
-Medical Director (VCA2), and
-Assistant to the Health Services Director/PIO (VSC1).
FISCAL IMPACT:
Dependent upon time on call and called back. Costs may be eligible for COVID-19 reimbursement.
BACKGROUND:
On March 24, 2020 the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 2020/110 adding a number of management and exempt classifications to the on-call duty and call back pay provisions in Section IV.40 of the Management Benefits Resolution. On August 16, 2022 the Board adopted Resolution 2022/280 amending the Management Benefits Resolution excluding those classifications from Section IV.40. This Resolution adds those management and exempt classifications back to Section IV.40 of the Management Benefits Resolution effective August 1, 2022, ensuring that there is no break in eligibility between the March 24, 2020 Resolution and this current Resolution.
This action is being taken in recognition of the extremely long hours worked by employees in these classifications prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The recommendation is made to make them eligible for on-call duty and call back pay described in Section IV.40 of the Management Resolution for the duration of the COVID-19 emergency.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Employees will not be appripriately compensated for additional work performed during the COVID-19 emergency.
