BACKGROUND:

In accordance with the memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Contra Costa County and Public Employees Union Local One, the Health Services Department is requesting to increase the position hours of two (2) Therapist Assistant (V5WF) positions #12172 (incumbent Jamie Louis, Employee #73483) from 28/40 to 30/40 and #12173 (incumbent Crisanto Carpiso, Employee #73843) from 24/40 to 30/40 at salary level QT5-1435 ($4,424 - $5,377), and two (2) Occupational Therapist II (V5VH) positions #8269 (incumbent Catherine Aubrey-Quinn, Employee #64200) from 20/40 to 24/40 and #7589 (incumbent Kathryn Moore, Employee #74402) from 30/40 to 32/40 at salary level QT5-1746 ($6,019 - $7,316) in the Rehabilitation Therapy Services Unit at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and its Health Centers. (Represented)

This request meets the criteria set forth in the MOU as the incumbents have consistently worked over their designated position hours in the past six months and the Department has determined that there is a continuing need for the additional hours.

Upon approval, there is an annual cost associated with this action at approximately $38,329.25, including approximately $9,256.00 in pension costs, which is offset by straight time overtime pay already incurred by incumbents working over their designated position hours.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Department will not have adequate staff hours to meet the service needs of rehabilitation therapy patients, which may negatively impact patient care. Further, the Department will not be in compliance with the agreement with Public Employees Union, Local One.
