RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2022/394 to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority and SEIU Local 2015 providing for wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment for the period of September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The County share of the negotiated contract increases will be added to the FY 2022/23 IHSS Maintenance of Effort (MOE). The salary increase of $0.43 in addition to the existing $1.00 supplement is expected to begin approximately February 1, 2023. The estimated general fund cost in FY 2022/23 is $518,000, FY 2023/24 is $3.17 million, FY 2024/25 is $4.73 million, FY 2025/26 is $5.77 million, and Quarter One (Q1) of FY 2026/27 is $1.5 million. The total fiscal impact on net county cost over the course of the MOU is $15.7 million.

BACKGROUND:

The Public Authority began bargaining with SEIU, Local 2015 on August 30, 2022. A tentative agreement was reached on October 28, 2022. The resulting Memorandum of Understanding is attached and was ratified by SEIU Local 2015 on November 15, 2022.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In summary, the significant changes are:

Duration of Agreement - Section 19
- September 1, 2022 - August 31, 2026
Wages - Section 7
- Effective as soon as practicable upon ratification by the Union, approval by the Board of Supervisors sitting as the Governing Body of the Public Authority and State approval, the Wage Supplement shall be increased by an additional forty-three cents ($0.43) for a total supplement of one dollar and forty-three cents ($1.43).
- Effective September 1, 2023, the Wage Supplement shall be increased by an additional one dollar ($1.00) per hour for a total Wage Supplement of two dollars and forty-three cents ($2.43) per hour.
- Effective September 1, 2024, the Wage Supplement shall be increased by an additional forty cents ($0.40) per hour for a total Wage Supplement of two dollars and eighty-three cents ($2.83) per hour.
- Effective May 1, 2025, the Wage Supplement shall be increased by an additional thirty cents ($0.30) per hour for a total Wage Supplement of three dollars and thirteen cents ($3.13) per hour.
No Discrimination – Section 4

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this MOU will result in the providers continuing to work out of contract and not benefiting from the negotiated wage increases.
