RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2015/430 to amend the salary schedule for the unrepresented WEX Trainee (XSK2) and Title V Trainee (XSK1) classifications to be in compliance with the State of California minimum wage law ($10.00) and to reallocate Step 2 of Title V Trainee (XSK1) to $11.00 effective January 1, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Upon approval, the cost of this action will be absorbed by the Department who utilize these classifications.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California has increased the minimum wage from $9.00 to $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016. In order to remain in compliance with State law, the job classifications of WEX Trainee (XSK2) and Title V Trainee (XSK1) will be reallocated on the salary schedule to set salary step 1 at no less than $10.00 per hour effective January 1, 2016.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

In addition, step 2 of the Title V Trainee classification will be reallocated from $10.00 to $11.00 per hour, in order to properly compensate senior participants assigned higher level program administrative assignments. Contra Costa Works (CCWorks), the Expanded Subsidized Employment (ESE) Program, Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA), and Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCESEP) are federally and state funded temporary job training programs managed by the Employee and Human Services Department through the Workforce Development Board and the Aging and Adult Services Bureau and need a higher level of skills.

Step 2 of the WEX Trainee (XSK2) salary schedule will not change.

WEX Trainee (XSK2) Salary Schedule
	Current Salary Step	Salary Step eff. 1/1/16
Step 1	$ 9.19	$10.00
Step 2	$12.00	$12.00

Title V Trainee (XSK1) Salary Schedule
	Current Salary Step	Salary Step eff. 1/1/16
Step 1	$ 9.00	$10.00
Step 2	$10.00	$11.00

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the request is not approved, Contra Costa County will not be in compliance with State of California minimum wage law, and not reallocating Step 2 of the Title V Trainee classification will not allow for proper compensation to senior participants of the SCESEP program.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
